How does nuclear energy conserve fossil fuels?
Nuclear energy conserves the use of fossil fuel because if there is a nuclear power station there is no need to burn fossil fuel in that region.
What is the plan to reduce energy costs?
The plan to reduce energy costs are to switch from fossil fuel to nuclear energy because nuclear energy can be recycled to help the earth so it doesn't pollute! Plus their is more nuclear energy than fossil fuel so therefore you pay less.
How does nuclear energy differ from fossil fuels?
With fossil fuels we burn them to produce heat. With nuclear fuel we produce a nuclear chain reaction in a reactor which produces heat. Using the heat to produce electricity is the same for both types of fuel.
Does Nuclear energy provide a great amount of energy from a small amount of fuel?
Yes. Producing the same amount of energy takes thousands of times as much fossil fuel.
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.
Is nuclear a fuel or a fossil fuel?
Nuclear energy is not a fossil fuel or any fuel at all. Radiation is used to create energy. The energy is "the Fuel" petroleum
Which of these accurately describes a difference between nuclear energy and fossil fuel?
Nuclear fuel has a higher energy density than fossil fuels.
How does nuclear energy conserve fossil fuels?
Nuclear energy conserves the use of fossil fuel because if there is a nuclear power station there is no need to burn fossil fuel in that region.
Is fossil fuel nuclear energy?
No because fossil fuel is its own energy from decayed things just like nuclear has its own.
Is oil a nuclear energy?
No.Oil is a fossil fuel.
Is petrol nuclear energy?
No, it comes from fossil fuel
Is the use of nuclear energy to conserve energy feasible?
If you use nuclear energy in place of fossil fuels, you are conserving the fossil fuel, that is reducing the amount you use.
Solar energy fossil fuel water and nuclear?
What is the question?
Why is nuclear energy not a fossil fuel what is it?
a non-renewable resource
Is nuclear energy petroleum energy?
No, it is completely different. Petroleum is a fossil fuel
Is coal a nuclear or motion energy?
Coal is a fossil fuel, which possesses potential chemical energy. It is not nuclear or kinetic
Is nuclear power a fossil fuel?
Nuclear power is NOT a fossil fuel.
