they use a combo of fossile and non-fossile fuels
Mainly coal
pork fuel
Nuclear fuels, such as uranium, are used in nuclear reactors to generate electricity through a process called nuclear fission. In this process, the uranium atoms are split, releasing energy in the form of heat. This heat is then used to generate steam, which drives a turbine connected to a generator, producing electricity.
Some burn fuels to generate light and others use electricity to generate light.
The only similarity is that they are both used to generate electricity through use of heat engines.
Fabrication of nuclear fuels to generate electricity in nuclear power reactors.
They use about 78% nuclear, 15%hydro and 7% fossil fuels.
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.
France generates its electricity mainly through nuclear power plants. Nuclear energy accounts for over 70% of the country's electricity production. In addition to nuclear power, France also generates electricity through hydroelectric plants, wind turbines, and solar panels.
Some people view solar panels and wind mills as renewable energy.The main renewable fuels are biodiesel and wood.You can use a wood burning stove to heat your home.You can also use a windmill to produce electricity for your home.
Most countries burn fossil fuels to generate electricity.If they used solar power to generate electricity, thenThey would not have to use so much fossil fuel.Solar Energy itself does not reduce the use of fossil fuels. But the use of solar energy should hopefully reduce the need of fossil fuels to create energy, so therefore the more we can use solar power as an energy source instead of fossil fuels, the more we reduce the use of fossil fuels.
