What else can I help you with?
What coal is its main use in the US?
It is burned in coal-fired power plants to supply energy.
Why are there more coal power plants then solar power plants?
There are more coal plants than solar plants because the cost per Mega-Watt is much less using coal than solar power, and currently coal is more efficient. The problem today is that in a environmentally conscious society coal is a 'dirty' fuel, and solar power is clean. That is why environmentalists are pushing for more Solar (and wind) power generation.
What waste problems of nuclear power plants is NOT a problem with a coal burning power plant?
fear of the waste.
What is an advantage of coal power plants over nuclear power plants?
Coal Power plants are cheaper to build.
What is an advantage of nuclear power plants over coal power plant?
Coal Power plants are cheaper to build.
Which natural resource enables the operation of most of China's power plants?
Coal is thenatural resource that enables the operation of most of China's power plants.
Different ways of transforming energy have different environmental effects what waste problems of nuclear power plants is NOT a problem with a coal-burning power plant?
You don't list the waste problems, so how can I answer? However radioactive waste is not a problem for a coal burning plant
What waste problems of nuclear power plants is NOT a problem with a coal-burning power plant?
Nuclear power plants produce radioactive waste, which remains hazardous for thousands of years, unlike the waste produced by coal-burning power plants. Coal plants generate larger quantities of more immediate pollutants like sulfur dioxide, mercury, and particulate matter, which can have significant health and environmental impacts.
What do coal power plants and hydroelectric power plants have in common?
They both generate electricity.
Compare and contrast coal and nuclear power plant?
Coal and nuclear power plants are both used to generate electricity, but they differ in terms of energy source and environmental impact. Coal power plants burn coal to produce heat, while nuclear power plants use nuclear reactions to generate heat. Nuclear power plants produce fewer greenhouse gas emissions compared to coal plants, but they create radioactive waste that needs to be carefully stored. Coal power plants are cheaper to build and operate, but they contribute to air pollution and climate change.
What do power plants use for fuel?
Coal
How long has coal been used for power plants?
The first power plants were installed by Edison in the 1880's, and were powered by coal, so that's the answer
