What type of energy does the US use the most?
Coal, oil, natural gas
How is nuclear energy supplied through the country?
I assume you mean in the USA? Nuclear energy is supplied as electricity. You can see the nuclear plants on a map in the link given below.
Is air conditioning bad for the atmosphere?
Remember that air conditioning is powered by electricity. How that electricity is made will determine its affect on the atmosphere. If it comes from Solar or Wind power, there is no effect. If it comes from Fossil Fuel, there are Greenhouse Gases given off. Nuclear power has its own set of issues. If the AC is in your car, then you will use more fuel, and emit more greenhouse gases as exhaust.
What use of nuclear power for electricity production for the rest of the world?
Apart from the US, the rest of the world has over 300 nuclear plants. A good website for getting world information is given as a link below
Do fossil fuels have a higher or lower energy content than a similar mass of nuclear fuel?
Total energy as expressed in Einsteins equation E=mc2 reveals that they are identical because the masses are identical and c is a constant. With present technology you can extract more energy from a given mass of nuclear fuels (in a nuclear reactor) than the same mass of fossil fuel in a thermoelectric generating plant.
What does Alternative energy cannot effectively replace fossil fuels mean?
It means there is no alternative energy source that can ween humanity off of fossil fuels. Which is presently true, however, given almost every developed nation is pooling their resources to replace fossil fuels, that isn't a timeless answer. Before the latter half of this century, gasoline and every other form, will or begin to exist only in history.
How can nuclear energy improve our lives?
the nuclear power generates electricity that can help us in our daily lifes, and in this date without electricity life would be almost impossible, because electricity plays an important role in our life.
What is claw fossil in Pokemon Sapphire?
If given to the Devon researcher in the Devon corporation the claw fossil can be revived into Anorith.
Why is nucleas energy good?
Nuclear energy does not burn fossil fuel or create CO2. A lot of energy is given out from a very small source. The down side of 'Fission' reactors, is the radioactive waste, which is dangerous to life and hard to dispose of.
If nuclear power is 75 percent what is the other fuels used in France?
The nuclear percentage in France is even higher than I thought, according to the EDF website (see link below). In 2007 it was 87.6 percent nuclear, 8.6 percent hydro, and 3.8 percent fossil fuel. Wind generation is also increasing steadily although still a small percentage. Figures for 2008 given on the nuclear part of the website are slightly different
Why are there not more nuclear power plants than plants that burn fossil fuels?
Nuclear power plants require significant initial investment, have higher operating costs, face public concerns about safety and waste disposal, and have lengthy approval processes. Fossil fuel plants are easier and cheaper to build, have well-established infrastructure, and provide more flexibility in responding to changes in electricity demand.
What is another word for burning of fossil fuel?
Combustion is the term given to burning a fuel, very often fossil fuels.
