Do power plants burn fossil fuels?
Some power plants do. Any plant that burns oil, coal, or gas from underground resources could be considered a "fossil fuel" plant. There are however nuclear, solar, hydro-electric and wind powered power plants.
Does fossil fuel kill trees?
If fossil fuels are used to power plants, this can kill trees. The pollution that comes from the plants can cause plants to die.
Compare a power plant that burns fossil fuels with a nuclear power plant?
Both power plants generate electricity, but a fossil fuel power plant burns coal, oil, or gas to produce heat that boils water into steam to drive a turbine, while a nuclear power plant uses nuclear reactions to heat water into steam. Nuclear plants produce no greenhouse gas emissions, while fossil fuel plants do. However, nuclear plants produce radioactive waste that needs to be safely managed for a long time.
What is the worst problem with fossil fuel power plants?
Fossil Fuel Plants produce massive amounts of carcinogenics into the atmosphere, not only increasing the rate of global warming but also increasing the cancer rates among humans. In fact, more radiation is released by Fossil Fuel power plants than by nuclear power plants. This is due to radioactive carbon as well as other radioactive elements actively released in coal plants.
Is nuclear power a fossil fuel?
Nuclear power is NOT a fossil fuel.
What uses coal as fossil fuel?
Power plants, steam locomotives, and some homes.
Carbon in fossil fuel is obtained from plants by the process of?
Fossil fuel is obtained from plants by the process of photosynthesis.
When did fossil fuel plants and animals live?
Fossil Fuel Power Plants were created when.....
Why are most of the nuclear plants located in the east?
In the US most of the population is east of the Mississippi river, thus most of the electrical demand is there, therefor most power plants both nuclear and fossil fuel are there.
What does the fossil fuel coal power?
Coal powers some electricity plants in China.Some of China's coal comes to us in the u.s. However when we use coal it powers fossil fuel plants and nuclear plants around the u.s. and even the world.
Are there any pictures of fossil fuel power plants?
yes yes yes, on en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fossil_fuel_power_plant
What do fossil fuel like coal oil and natural gas production connection with eletricity?
Electricity is generated in power plants; those power plants need some energy source. One option for such an energy source is fossil fuel like coal, oil, and natural gas.
