Wind power can be quite costly over time, but nuclear power creates wastes that cost a lot of money to dispose of, let alone getting the nuclear rods in the first place. However, nuclear power can provide much more power than wind power, so they are more or less equals.

∙ 14y agoThe actual cost of producing the energy is less with nuclear, but it has a lot of investment and potential disposal costs as well.

What is true about nuclear power?
extracting energy from nuclear fuels is more expensive than extracting energy from fossil fuels
Is wind energy less dangerous than nuclear energy?
yes
Is nuclear energy an expensive source of energy?
Expensive to build, cheaper to run than using fossil fuels once it is built.
Is it expensive to create nuclear energy?
Building a nuclear plant is expensive because of the very high quality engineering involved and the complicated safety systems. However once built the fuel costs are less than for coal or natural gas.
What are facts about nuclear power plants?
Extracting energy from nuclear fuels is more expensive than extracting energy from fossil fuels.
Does nuclear fusion produce much less energy per atom than nuclear fission?
Nuclear fusion produce energy 400 times more than nuclear fission for the same mass.
Why is solar energy expensive than nuclear energy?
because itv cost more because it a renewable resource.
What is true about power?
extracting energy from nuclear fuels is more expensive than extracting energy from fossil fuels
Is solar energy more or less expensive than fossil fuels?
More expensive to instal, cheaper to run
Does alternative energy cost less than normal power?
Nuclear is about the same as fossil fuel in total costs, but more expensive to build the plant. Solar and wind power are more expensive and have to be subsidised to make them economic for power companies to use
Why is the mass of reactants less than the product in nuclear fission?
A part of mass is transformed in energy.
Does Nuclear energy produce more carbon dioxide than burning coal?
No. It produces less.
