When properly operating the type of power plant coal hydroelectric natural gas nuclear solar wind that releases the most radioactivity into the environment is?
I believe the answer is coal plants
What energy source will tidal energy replace?
Tidal energy could replace any of the fossil fuel (coal, oil and natural gas) generated energy. Tidal energy at the present is only suitable for a few locations round the world, as it needs a large bay or inlet with a small opening to the sea, where the tides will move in and out at speed.
Why is tidal power useful?
Tidal power is useful because it generates electricity that is renewable, free and non-polluting. So it is an excellent replacement for energy from fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) which is non-renewable, expensive and polluting (that is, causing global warming).
What inpact does coal have on the environment?
goggle it
Is tidal power a good power source?
They don't think much about it.Tidal power is only suitable at selected locations round the world.The community is more likely to think about renewable energy in general and think that it is good.The community knows that we have to reduce our reliance on fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), because the burning of them is causing global warming.
Is solar power better then coal power?
Solar power is more environment friendly than coal power. Solar power is, however, more expensive than coal power.
What are the different types of power?
hydroelectricity solar energy tidal power oil power wind power coal power nuclear power
How does coal power affect the environment?
because of global warming
How do you get the energy source from the environment?
Coal is mined, oil and natural gas drilled, uranium mined. Wind and solar energy, tidal and ocean current, there to be taken. Hydro power, build a dam and wait for rain to fill it up.
What are France's nonrenewable and renewable resorce?
Some of France's Renewable resources are Nuclear Energy, Hydro-power energy and tidal power (Europe's biggest tidal power station) France's non-renewable resources are Coal/Peat, Oil and natural gas.
How do power plants pollute the environment?
from the process of the coal getting into electricty
Is solar power better than coal?
If this is a question of green energy, then yes, solar power is better than coal because it is a renewable source. Coal is a fossil fuel that is non-renewable.
Why is solar power being developed?
Solar power is another way for us to harness energy. Natural resources such as coal and oil are limited resources and we are using them quickly. Solar energy is also better for the environment.
Definition of conventional energy?
Power provided by traditional means such as coal, wood, gas, etc., as opposed to alternative energy sources such as solar power, tidal power, wind power, etc. (Source: PHC)
Why are solar power plants better than coal fired power plants?
because solar power is better for the earth. coal is a fossil fuel so it is getting scarce. wind powered is the best to use.
How is water power better than coal power?
Hydroelectricity emits far fewer pollutants (including carbon dioxide) than burning coal.
What impact does coal power to to the environment?
that it make a lot of pollution and kills some types of plants
