Does Nuclear Energy make sense for the environment?
A well built and run nuclear plant has virtually no effect on the environment
Does nuclear energy pose a threat to human existence?
The byproducts from nuclear energy plants pose a threat to the environment and public health if they are not disposed of properly. There is always a small chance of a complete meltdown of a nuclear plant, which would contaminate the environment for miles around the site.
What are the advantages of using the nuclear energy?
It's cheap and quick to use Nuclear means. Though it isn't exactly the best for the environment...
What is the disadvantage of using water energy?
"water energy" = Hydro electricity. Depending where the dam is, it can be detrimental to the environment. Also, nuclear is cheaper.
How is energy stored in nuclear power?
Energy produced by nuclear power cannot be stored, it has to be used as soon as it is produced. This is done by producing steam from the thermal energy released and using this in a conventional power plant
How does nuclear energy help the environment?
It doesnt
Does Nuclear Energy make sense for the environment?

How does nuclear energy impact the environment?
Not much pollution unless there is a nuclear reaction.
How does nuclear energy effect the environment?
it kills plants.
How does nuclear engery affect the economy?
The nuclear energy is now the most important source of alternative energy.
Is nuclear energy good for the environment?
No, nuclear energy is not good for the environment because after they get the energy there is nuclear waste which is radioactive and is NOT good for the environment.It can be if well controlled, as no carbon dioxide or other greenhouse gases are produced. However if things go wrong as in Japan now (March 2011) then it is definitely not good for the environment or the people who live in it.
How to using nuclear energy without harming the environment?
i dont now
Is nuclear energy good for humans and the environment?
Nuclear energy provides electricity which is good for humans, and for the environment it does not produce greenhouse gases, so that is good. However it has dangers too, so must be well controlled
How impossible to use nuclear energy?
Using nuclear energy is possible, and in fact being done. It has been done since the 1940s. The first nuclear electric plant came on line some time after that, but I worked at one in the 1980s.
Does nuclear energy pose a threat to human existence?
The byproducts from nuclear energy plants pose a threat to the environment and public health if they are not disposed of properly. There is always a small chance of a complete meltdown of a nuclear plant, which would contaminate the environment for miles around the site.
What are the pros and cons of using Nuclear energy?
The kWh produced by nuclear energy is the cheapest. It is a clean energy that does not pollute the environment. It gives chance for people to work during its construction and operation. It is reliable source of energy.
What has been done when you see a change in environment?
energy!
