Is solar power or nuclear power better?

The 'power' that comes from a both nuclear and solar is the same - it's electricity. Nuclear power is quite clean while it is being produced (assuming nothing goes wrong with the plant), however getting rid of the harmful nuclear waste after it's use is an extremely difficult pollution problem. Solar power is 100% clean, and no harmful waste is caused after it's useful life. If you were to power a house with solar electricity, it can either be done by suplimenting the electricity needs at night with other green electicity (such as from a green energy supplier), or the electricity from the solar panels can be stored in solar batteries then power will be available day and night. Looking at the very short term problem, nuclear produces a lot of power and is clean (apart from after it's use). Looking at long term, and the need to reduce pollution and nuclear waste then more solar power is better. Nuclear and solar should work together - If more houses/buildings were powered by solar (and other green electicity) then it would mean reducing the need for quite as many nuclear power stations.


How do you do the events in Indecision 08 An Inconvenient Game?

The only one that I know is the Blue Collar Bear - to do it, just do industry first, then do wildlife next. There is more than one way to do a couple of them, but I just listed one. alien conspiracy: nuclear, recycling, science, industry, wildlife, solar, oil, waste, natural resources. monster battle: nuclear, oil, recycling, solar, industry, science, waste, natural resources, wildlife blue collar bear: wildlife, industry, nulear, recycling, oil, science, waste, natural resources, solar rat invasion:oil, waste, recycling, industry, nuclear, science, solar, natural resources, wildlife robot rescue: solar, oil, industry, science, nuclear, recycling, waste, and natural resources , wildlife mutant for president: nuclear, industry, oil, recycling, waste, solar, science, natural resources, wildlife victory: solar, wildlife, oil, industry, science, nuclear, recycling, waste, and natural resources


How does nuclear waste affect the environment?

Harmful Effects of Nuclear Wastes:Nuclear wastes usually contain one or more highly radioactive substances. Radioactive nuclear wastes pollute the earth to a dangerous level of toxicity. If the nuclear wastes are exposed to underground water, the radiations get absorbed in water and then enter in living beings through food chains. Nuclear wastes emit harmful radiations. These harmful radiations affect the living beings. These harmful radiations damage our tissues, cells and rd blood corpuscles. The nuclear wastes radiations can cause the diseases like cancer, leukemia, etc. Radioactive waste also spreads through water that is used in nuclear reactors. This has a huge effect on the surrounding aquatic life. Waste products from nuclear power stations etc. are becoming a serious problem. Nuclear power plants do require huge amounts of water to cool their reactors. If this hot water is dump into rivers or oceans, thermal pollution may result. The heat can have a harmful effect on aquatic life. To protect the environment, the water must be cooled before it is released. Unfortunately, there is no way of stopping a radioactive nucleus from emitting radiation.


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.


Which is more of a threat transporting nuclear fuel waste or transporting toxic chemicals?

spent nuclear fuel


What step did carter take to reduce us dependency on foreign oil?

Build more nuclear plants


How long does nuclear power plant waste remain harmful?

The half-life of the radiation in the rods used in nuclear power plants is 30 years, but under government standards, they are not considered "safe" until they are more than 90% depleted - nearly 300 years.


Is nuclear waste is harmless after being stored for 10 years or more?

No


How does a nuclear and fossil fuel station differ?

A nuclear station uses the energy from nuclear fission to generate power, but fossil fuel stations burn fossil fuels that release CO2 into the atmosphere, instead of the steam that nuclear plants produce. Therefore, nuclear power is more enviormental friendly, though it has some very radioactive waste products that can be harmful if not disposed properly.


What has been done with nuclear waste?

The honest answer is the USA has been producing a great deal of nuclear waste and ignoring the problem of what to do with it. President Obama wants more nuclear power plants, but, has not said what to do with nuclear waste. A lot of waste is stored in nuclear power plants, but, they are getting filled up fast, and that is not really a good idea. The possibility of an accident or theft is very real.


Is nuclear bomb harmful?

They can probably cause as much- or more- harm as anything ever created. They are bombs, and are intended to be harmful.


What is the benefit of nuclear fusion and What is one thing nuclear fission and nuclear fusion have in common?

nuclear fusion make more energy and they both make energy and have waste products
