What else can I help you with?
Does green electricity make more power than other methods?
No. Some forms of renewable energy (e.g. solar cells) are much less efficient than conventional energy sources. Modern coal and natural gas power plants are about as efficient as it is possible to make an energy source. Hydroelectric power plants are about the only renewable energy source with efficiency near coal and natural gas power plants.
What percent of nuclear powerplants make energy in the US by coal?
Zero percent of nuclear power plants make energy by coal, US or otherwise.
Is a power supply needed to run an electric motor?
Yes. To make something move, you have to add energy. An electric motor won't turn by itself.
Which conversion does an electric motor make?
electric energy to mechanical energy
Which best describes the energy conversion that happens when hydroelectric power plants are used to make electricity?
Kinetic energy to electrical energy
How is the energy of the sun utilized by plants trees and algae?
The energy from the Sun is used to power the process of Photosynthesis. Photosynthesis allows plants to make their own food. Carbon Dioxide from the air is mixed with the Hydrogen in the water to make the Carbohydrates on which plants live.
What arguments can you make to say that hydro electric power is the best source of energy?
Well i don't know but this is a guess:It's a good reneable source of energy
Do hydro electric power plants make a lot of noise?
If you stand next to a turbine or generator yes. Overall very little.
What energy do electric charges make?
chemical energy
Plants use energy in what to make food?
Plants use the energy in sunlight to make food
What do the plants do with their energy?
plants perform photosynthesis and make their food with their energy.
How does the generation of electricity contribute to global warming?
Most electricity is generated by burning fossil fuels like coal, oil and natural gas. These are all non-renewable sources of energy. This burning releases carbon dioxide into the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. This is contributing to global warming. Electricity made from hydro-electric dams, wind generators, solar power, geothermal power, or nuclear power plants would release hardly any CO2. This is renewable energy. Conservation of energy by any means, such as turning down your thermostat a few degrees, changing light bulbs to compact fluorescent, etc can be helpful to both your electric bill and the environment. People think there is little effect by one person trying to save, but actually when many of us do these little things, whole power plants worth of energy can be conserved. Very simply, it depends on how the electricity was first generated. Coal-burning electric plants which are the major source of power in many countries round the world, make the CO2 that contributes to global warming by burning fuel. Electricity which is made from hydro-electric dams, wind generators, or nuclear power plants would make hardly any CO2. Conservation of energy by any means, such as turning your thermostat a few degrees, changing light bulbs to compact fluorescent, can be helpful to both your electric bill and the environment. People think there is little effect by one person trying to save, but actually when many of us do these little things, whole power plants worth of energy can be conserved. Google "energy conservation" for many more tips on ways to save.
