What does a fossil fuel burning electrical plant produce that Niagara Falls does not?

Carbon dioxide.
Niagara falls produces electric power from the kinetic energy of water falling through a large vertical drop. This process does not produce carbon dioxide so does not put huge amounts of greenhouse gas into the atmosphere.

Do Termites produce more CO2 than human's burning of fossil fuels?
No.
Why does burning wood and burning fossil fuels produce the same substance?
The main content is the same. Of the wood is carbon and hydrogen, and that of fossil fuels is hydrogen and carbon. So when wood and fossil fuels are burnt the Carbon combines with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide, and the hydrogen combines with oxygen to produce water (H2O). C+O2--> CO2+CO
Do fossil fuels produce CO2 and water when they burn?
Yes. Burning fossil fuels can also produce carbon monoxide as well as lesser amounts of sulfur and nitrogen oxides from impurities present in the fuel.
How does the burning of fossil fuels affect the future generation?
Burning fossil fuels will Produce CarbonDioxide (CO2) or GreenHouse Gases and the CO2 gets into earths atmosphere and warms up the planet, this is called global warming, this has effect on the weather
What chemical equation for the burning of fossil fuels?
Burning of fossil fuels is an oxidation reaction.
Why does burning wood and burning fossil fuels produce similar pollutants?
Burning fossil fuels and burning wood produce similar pollutants because wood and fossil fuels are both consist of hydrogen and carbon. Carbon dioxide is produced when burning wood and fossil fuel.
Does burning petrol release energy?
Petrol is a fossil fuel made from crude oil and burning fossil fuels produce energy so yes burning petrol does release energy.
Could a fossil fuel produce electricity?
Sure, much of the world's electricity is obtained by burning fossil fuels.
Do Termites produce more CO2 than human's burning of fossil fuels?
No.
How can geothermal energy be converted to electrical energy?
The same way that burning fossil fuel is used to produce steam to turn an electrical generator. Geothermal heat from far beneath the ground is captured and used to turn a dynamo or turbine to generate electricity.
Why is it goood to have nuclear power staions?
They don't produce pollution like burning fossil fuels does
How is waste used as a type of fuel?
It can be used in incinerators which produce heat as for burning fossil fuels.
What are some disadvantages of electrical energy?
Electricity is mainly produced by burning fossil fuels, coal, oil and natural gas. When burnt these all produce carbon dioxide which contributes to the layer of greenhouse gas in the atmosphere.
Why does burning wood and burning fossil fuels produce the same substance?
The main content is the same. Of the wood is carbon and hydrogen, and that of fossil fuels is hydrogen and carbon. So when wood and fossil fuels are burnt the Carbon combines with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide, and the hydrogen combines with oxygen to produce water (H2O). C+O2--> CO2+CO
Almost all electrical energy is produced as a result of hydroelectric power?
NO. Almost all electrical energy is produced as a result of burning fossil fuels.
Is fossil fuel used to produce hydroelectric power?
No, hydroelectric power is produced from the movement of water spinning a turbine. Fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) produce energy by burning.
How can you produce energy apart from burning fossil fuels?
Apart from burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), we produce electricity from renewable energy (solar, wind, water, hydro, tidal and wave, geothermal, ocean thermal, biomass, biofuel and hydrogen).
