coal uses fossil fuels and nuclear power plants doesn't
Nuclear power plants and fossil fuels such as petroleum.
It helps us because it uses a renewable resource instead of a fossil fuel
Fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) are burnt in vehicles and electricity power plants. This releases the energy.
The problem of disposing large amounts of nuclear waste is not resolved.
Geothermal energy comes from the earth, meaning getting heat from magma within the earth, whereas fossil fueled power plants burn fossil fuels, like oil turned into gas.
The source of the energy is the nuclear reactor, rather than a furnace for burning fossil fuels.
The energy of fission from uranium is transformed in electricity or heat in nuclear power plants.
Electricity is generated in power plants; those power plants need some energy source. One option for such an energy source is fossil fuel like coal, oil, and natural gas.
As fuel for power plants. vehicle engines, coal power plants, oil for heating, etc. It's all fossil fuels. burn them to get heat and use the heat to make energy in some fashion, basically.
Hydro-power presently is the most prevalent renewable power source, primarily as hydroelectric generation.
