Coal is a fossil fuel, which possesses potential chemical energy. It is not nuclear or kinetic
Zero percent of nuclear power plants make energy by coal, US or otherwise.
Nuclear energy
Coal, petroleum, nuclear energy.
Nuclear energy is the energy stored in the nucleus of an atom and is released during nuclear reactions, such as fission or fusion. Kinetic energy is the energy of motion and is possessed by objects in motion, such as a moving car or a falling object.
Nuclear power causes fewer deaths compared to coal energy production.
Nuclear energy provides energy, not a push of motion.
A coal-fired power station uses chemical energy from burning coal to generate electricity. A nuclear power station uses nuclear reactions to generate electricity.
One kilogram of uranium yields significantly more energy than one kilogram of coal. Uranium's energy density is much higher due to nuclear fission reactions, making it a more efficient energy source compared to coal, which relies on combustion for energy production.
The energy stored in coal that is converted to heat is chemical energy. Of course coal, like any other matter, also has stored nuclear energy.
Coal energy releases greenhouse gases when burnt, causing global warming. Nuclear power has very little effect on climate change.
Fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) and nuclear power are all non-renewable energy.
No, nuclear energy produces very little carbon dioxide during operation, while burning coal emits significant amounts of carbon dioxide. Nuclear energy is considered a low-carbon energy source.
