Renewable Sources like Tidal Waves, Hydropower (flowing water), Wind Energyand Solar Energy are better alternatives for Thermal Power Generation methodsand should be considered at large scales for generating Electricity for a Cleaner & Greener Earth.

What are the benefits of hydropower?

It produces electricity without generating any emissions of greenhouse gases or other waste.


What are the social implications of using nuclear energy as compared to other ways of generating electricity?

It generates electricity and it is too dangerous. We cannot depend on nuclear power.


Why does a electrical generating station not use batteries ot generate electricity?

Batteries are typically used for storing and releasing electricity rather than generating it. Electrical generating stations use other sources like fossil fuels, hydroelectric power, solar, or wind to produce electricity and then distribute it to the grid for use. Batteries are more commonly used for backup power or storing excess energy from renewable sources.


What are the steps involved in generating electricity at a power plant?

In all power-generating schemes except solar, some other form of energy is used to produce electrical energy by turning a mechanical generator.


How electromagnetic induction is used in generating electricity?

Electromagnetic induction is used in generating electricity by moving a magnet through a coil of wire. As the magnet moves, it creates a changing magnetic field that induces an electric current in the wire according to Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction. This induced current can then be harnessed to generate electricity in power plants and other electrical systems.

What is the most expensive way of making electricity?

The most expensive way of generating electricity is typically through concentrated solar power (CSP) systems, especially in regions where sunlight is less abundant. Construction and operational costs are high due to the need for extensive infrastructure and technology to concentrate and convert solar energy. Other expensive methods include offshore wind farms and certain types of nuclear power, which require significant investment in safety measures and technology. Overall, while costs can vary by location and technology, CSP and offshore wind are often considered among the priciest options.


How does electricity produce pollution?

Electricity does pollution in many ways. It begins pollution at the very beginning when produced in thermal power stations.Electricity doesn't pollute directly, it helps other machines to pollute. For eg: Eletricity is used for many appliances, which may malfunction and catch fire, leading into many other problems. Electricity is one of the cleanest sources of energy. But making the electricity can cause many pollutions. A common method of generating electricity is to burl fossil fuels. Burning fossil fuels can cause pollution, but not the electricity. But wasting electricity can lead to burn more fossil fuels to generate it. In small scale, electricity is obtained by chemical reactions in non rechargeable cells. These cells contains Murcury, cadmium and various pollutents. Even in the rechargeable cells when they are inally dumped can cause a huge damage to the environment. But there are various clean methods of generating electricity without the pollution. Generating electricity with fallig water or hydro electricity is one of the clean ways of generating electricity. This is the majour source of electricity used in Sri Lanka. The initial cost is heigher; but in long run, it needs nothing but constantly falling water. Solar cells are also a clean source of electricity. This is good for small scale electricity requirements. Costs a lot, but good in long run. Needs little maintainance and no fuel but Sun Shine.
