How long does a tidal power last?
Tidal power is a renewable energy source that can last indefinitely as long as there are tides. Tidal power plants can operate continuously, generating electricity whenever the tides are moving in and out.
How long would electricity last in the UK or US if something wiped out most of humanity?
this depends... much of the power in the UK is supplied by nuclear power, and these power plants are mostly regulated by computors.. i assume its down to luck more than anything else.
What is the source of energy in nuclear power plants?
The source of energy in almost all nuclear power plants is fission or the splitting of the atom. There are a few experimental fusion power plants, (or the joining of the atoms), but, there are few of them, since the energy needed to produce fusion is extremly high, and only last a few seconds. Around 99.99% of nuclear power plants are fission power plants.
How does electricity come at your home?
Electricity is generated at power plants and then transmitted through power lines to substations. From there, it is distributed to homes and businesses via power lines and transformers. When electricity reaches your home, it goes through a circuit breaker or fuse box before being distributed to outlets and appliances.
Why do US uses nuclear power plants?
The US uses nuclear power plants because they provide a stable and reliable source of energy that generates a large amount of electricity without producing greenhouse gas emissions. Nuclear power also helps reduce dependence on fossil fuels and can contribute to energy security.
What are the last two steps in generating electrical energy in power plants the last two steps are the same. what are they?
Electrical
How do electricity suppliers get the electricity?
Generators supply electricity to transformers. Then the transformers increase the voltage to reduce voltage drop as the electricity travels over long distances. When the power gets to its destination, other transformers reduce the voltage back down to a useable level.
Will electricity be available in future?
If changes are made now to invest more heavily in renewable energies. Coal and oil burning are in huge dependence for electricity generation currently and this cannot last. A relief to the shortfall for the moment could be nuclear power, but a lot of people have a taboo about this due to older built plants being in operation still.
Why have you been able to build nuclear power plants for only the last fifty years?
We don't have the technology to make it last longer.
Could Power Rangers rpm be the last team of Rangers?
No they will keep making it
What is positive about using nuclear energy?
Nuclear energy releases no greenhouse gasses and in comparison with solar energy, it's way cheaper. It also produces cheap electricity, France has the cheapest electricity in Europe and the get almost 80% of their electricity from nuclear power plants. It's also highly sustainable, contrary to what many think. Bernard Cohen proved that we can last billions of years on nuclear energy!
How the air pollution of mega-cities of Bangladesh can be reduced substantially?
Local air pollution is usually caused by local factories, coal-burning power plants and traffic. It can also be caused by people burning wood for cooking. Coal-burning power plants can be replaced with renewable energy. Solar panels are now as cheap as coal, are cleaner, emit no polluting carbon dioxide and other gases, and last for 25 years. Coal lasts for 5 minutes, then more has to be bought. Factories and transport can run on electricity that is from renewable sources. In China, Beijing has now closed all the coal power plants in the city, because of the air pollution. It still has to import electricity from outside, but it is installing huge amounts of renewable energy power plants every year.
