Is solar power better then coal power?
Solar power is more environment friendly than coal power. Solar power is, however, more expensive than coal power.
Is hydroelectric power reliable?
More reliable than most other forms of electricity. Water flows down hill. As long as the lakes and rivers that are feeding the hydroelectric station don't dry up, they will always generate electricity. You will never run out of gas or uranium or coal to power the plant.
Is hydro electric dams more expensive then wind electricity?
Yes. In installation and construction a hydroelectric dam is more expensive generally. However, a hydroelectric dam will have the benefits of a more stabile delivery, longer life-time, and a much greater potential energy delivery.
What do you mean by rnewable resource?
Renewable resource means something that can never finish. for example wood is a renewable source, so we can keep growing trees to get more wood. but for example coal, when we use up all the coal in the world, it will take millions and millions of years to get more coal, this is non- renewable energy. types of renewable energy are : wind power, solar panels/cells, bio fuel, geothermal power, wave energy, tidal power, and hydroelectric power. types of non- renewable are: coal, oil, gas or nuclear power
Is it cheaper or more expensive to use solar power than coal to produce electricity?
If you are setting up your own panels, start up cost is more expensive but this will pay off over time as it is renewable.
When India became independent from Britain it built hydroelectric dams for power but more recently it has shifted toward using coal for power generation. What would be the best argument to encourage a?
Water causes little air pollution and will probably not run out.
What is the most expensive type of coal?
Anthracite is the most metamorphosed type of coal (but still represents low-grade using only the more expensive anthracite coal in its passenger locomotives,
South America produces more power using?
hydroelectric generation
Why is it not advisable to build more coal power stations?
it is not advisable because the coal will finish more faster and once the coal is finished the power stations will go to waste
Where in America is hydroelectric energy used most?
Switzerland, along with Austria and Luxembourg, are very much involved in using renewable energy sources to power their countries.
How much does coal cost?
Coal, despite what is said, is abit more expensive than what most people say it is, for example; be good or you'll get a lump of coal for your birthday/Christmas etc. it's more than that, we need it, therefore it's expensive.
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.
