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.
Why were Nuclear Power Stations made?
Nuclear power plants were made in the hope of providing a more efficient source of electricity than is obtained from coal powered plants.
How efficient are conventional power plants?
Efficiency of power plants is usually measured as a ratio of the total amount of electrical power produced divided by the total amount of heat generated, expressed as a percentage. Thus, if a power plant produces 100 MWh thermal, and this is converted to 38 MWh of electricity, the plant is 38% efficient. Most power plants are 35% to 40% efficient. This is true for nuclear as well as fossil fuel plants. Some plants are much more efficient. A natural gas plant, used in a situation with cogeneration, can be as much as 65% efficient. The lost heat is put into the environment and is referred to as thermal pollution.
Why are there more coal power plants then solar power plants?
There are more coal plants than solar plants because the cost per Mega-Watt is much less using coal than solar power, and currently coal is more efficient. The problem today is that in a environmentally conscious society coal is a 'dirty' fuel, and solar power is clean. That is why environmentalists are pushing for more Solar (and wind) power generation.
Why did you stop using steamboats?
Because modern power plants can be built smaller, more efficient and quicker to bring online.
Are plant cells more efficient in carrying out its functions than animal cells?
No, Plants are not more efficient. Animals are more efficient because they coordinate by hormones and CNS ( Central Nervous System ). But plants coordinate only by hormones, therefore animals are more efficient.
Why are power plants more efficient in the winter?
Temperature alone would do it; engines create heat, which must be removed for best efficiency.
What would there be if there was no electricity?
You said it, no electricity. But with the advent of more efficient solar, wind and hydro power plants we'll pretty much have a power supply until the planet dies.
Does nuclear power station provides cleaner more efficient energy?
It's definitely cleaner than fossil fuels. It produces very little pollution, just waste, which can be stored safely. As for whether it's more "efficient", you need to define what you mean. Nuclear power plants use far smaller amounts of fuel than fossil plants.
Howis the wind power evvironmental friendly?
Well, windmills that run off of the winds power produce power, but no waste. This means that they are more efficient and idealistic as power sources over power and oil plants that ruin the environment around them.
Does the nuclear power station provides cleaner more efficient energy?
The main advantage of nuclear power is that it does not depend on manufacturing carbon dioxide from carbon fuels, as gas, oil and coal power plants do, so nuclear power plants save millions of tons of CO2 being dumped into the atmosphere.
How does plant reproduction get more efficient as more complex plants evolve?
well they dont
