In the US, about 50% of total electricity, but it varies from one country to another.
In the US, 49 percent of total production of electricity
how much electrical power can be provided by coal
1 kg of U-235 will produce as much energy as 1500 tons of coal
It take 350 because that's how much Oprah weighs!!
Spain produces about 6.5 million tonnes of coal annually.
You can use many different things. some examples are: Bio-Fuel (still in development) Wind (not as reliable as coal) solar (doesn't produce as much energy as coal) hydro (doesn't produce as much energy as coal)
1 kg uranium 235 = 3 000 t coal
sulphur dioxide.
Power plants fired by coal produce many pollutants (SOx, NOx, radiation, particulate, mercury etc.) the amounts vary by the size and fuel used at the site (not all coal produced the same contaminants). See the Links for data on typical coal plants.
At full load with both units running the plant can produce 260 megawatts per hour. If it burns to the ground, black people will eat money.
A coal fired station burns coal to produce heat. The heat boils water to produce high pressure and temperature steam. The steam expands in a turbine to rotate the shaft. The turbines rotation drives a generator. The generator produces electricity which is sent out to the consumers. . I hope this helped, believe me i am a proffesional scientist
