Birgit.
Why did Japan use nuclear reactors?
Japan has few natural resources. They have to generate their electricity from imported fuels, primarily fossil (petrochemical) fuels. The nuclear reactor is an option to the use of fossil fuels to generate heat to generate electric power, and for Japan, an island nation, it was one that came with acceptable risks.
What are the risks and benefits associated with energy development?
The benefits of energy production are that the use of fossil fuels are readily available for use and it is a simple process to break these fuels into energy. The risks associated with energy development is that the combustion of these fields lead to pollution which affects the environment.
What are the environmental concerns of solar energy?
No there are not any enviromental risks of solar energy.
What are the consequences of being nuclear free?
The consequence of being nuclear free is continued use of fossil fuels. That contributes to greenhouse gases and other pollution (including radioactive release from fossil fuels) and continues/increases our dependence on imported oil. Barring some "miraculous" discovery, none of the alternative energy sources, such as wind, tidal, solar, and geothermal are ready in the short and mid terms to meet our needs. Not even fusion power is ready, and it won't be ready for another 50 to 100 years. There is a general misunderstanding about the risks of nuclear power. When you objectively consider the big picture, nuclear power is actually safer and more environmentally friendly than fossil fuel based energy. Yes, there are issues and risks, but those issues and risks are greater with fossil fuels.
What are the risks invovled in coal mining?
Getting Hurt
Why is surface mining cheaper?
In surface mining we dont make any tunnels. Surface mining is less risks as underground mining. In surface mining we follows the several conditions which are provides saftey.
What are two risks to the health of coniferous forests?
Clearcut logging and mining are two risks to the health of coniferous forests
How does electricity affect human health?
Electricity can cause burning in fossil fuels, which can increase the chances of global warm up. Health risks include people getting respiratory problems, sore throats, and problems with nose breathing.
