Is solar energy more efficient than nuclear energy?
Nuclear Energy is able to produce a constant ammount of energy at all times where as solar energy does not.
Has there been any real evidence that solar energy systems are effective?
It is a proven fact that solar energy is more efficient and cost effective over the long run.
Is solar energy safer then nuclear energy?
Solar energy is certainly safer than nuclear energy, but decidedly more expensive with much greater space requirements...at this time. As solar and other alternative energy sources are developed, it is reasonable to assume that the costs will decrease. Whether or not they will ever decrease to the costs per kilowatt hour that nuclear energy can achieve remains to be seen.
Why is solar energy expensive than nuclear energy?
because itv cost more because it a renewable resource.
What is one example of a non solar nuclear energy?
Mechanical energy, solar energy, electrical energy. There are many more.
How does solar power reduce carbon emissions?
By its self it does not reduce carbon emissions. What it does do is provide an alternative source of energy that does not create any more carbon emissions. Though, this will only become effective when solar energy is more cost effective than carbon based energy.
What can replace dwindling petroleum one day?
There are lots of potential energy sources; some of them include solar energy, wind energy, nuclear energy, and many others more.
What are the bad ponits about solar energy?
It does not work at night or in cloudy weather. It is not cost effective. Most solar panels cost a lot of money. You get more energy per dollar from wind turbines than from solar panels.
What ways are used to produce electrical energy?
Ways you can produce electric energy: Solar Panels Wind Turbines Nuclear Fission Microwave Pure Solar (uses mirrors focused on a water tower) Geothermal Tidal Energy Wave Energy Hydroelectric (Uses dams) Biofuels (Algae) And many more ways are being created and studied including the much more efficient Nuclear Fusion.
How effective is nuclear energy?
The reason nuclear energy is most efficient today is, because with little it can create a hundred times more. For instance, Japan's entire economy is constructed on nuclear energy. Even if they have suffered, because of some inconveniences, before that they use to be the leading economical giant. In general nuclear energy is the most efficient resource on the planet, right now.
What are some types of energy?
Wind, biomass, hydropower, nuclear, wave, tidal, geothermal, and solar energy are 8 other types of energy other than fossil fuels . There are also nuclear, coal and more types. By: D.P
How do solar reflectors improve the efficiency of solar collectors?
A solar reflector directs more sunlight into the solar collector. The more solar energy that is directed to the solar panel, the more electrical energy that is generated.
