Explain why nuclear power does little to address your largest energy shortfalls?
Nuclear power can only supply electricity from large power plants, it can't replace gasoline and diesel used for surface transport or kerosene used for aircraft. If the shortfall is in oil derived products, nuclear therefore does not help. If electric cars and trucks are developed then nuclear can provide the energy to keep them charged though.
Do microwaves have any nuclear power?
There is no nuclear power involved in a microwave unless the electricity used to power it is from a nuclear power plant.
How many average wind turbines are needed to replace 1 average nuclear power plant?
About 500, when the wind is blowing
What do nuclear power plants have to do with nuclear energy?
Nuclear power plants produce electricity by using nuclear energy
Fossil fuels are running out. Solar and wind technologies are location specific and don't produce enough power to entirely replace fossil fuels. These are reasons to focus on which of the following?
nuclear power

What are examples of nuclear power?
nuclear power
How are nuclear power plants?
by nuclear power ¬.¬
Why do you use solar?
it is a cleaner source of energy so it can replace nuclear power and does not melt down like in japan
How does nuclear get its power?
Nuclear power is produced through two processes: Nuclear Fission and Nuclear Fusion.
Do microwaves have any nuclear power?
There is no nuclear power involved in a microwave unless the electricity used to power it is from a nuclear power plant.

Is nuclear power biology?
No. Nuclear power is not based on biology. It is based on nuclear physics.
What do nuclear power plants have to do with nuclear energy?
Nuclear power plants produce electricity by using nuclear energy
What percentage of US power production is from nuclear power?
It is 28% nuclear power.
