What is true about nuclear power?

extracting energy from nuclear fuels is more expensive than extracting energy from fossil fuels


How does solar energy reduce the use of fossil fuels?

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.


What are 3 alternative energy sources to fossil fuels?

There is a source of energy that is more friendly to the environment that has not been looked into yet such as using the force from the waves to power everything that fossil fuels are being used currently to power and you could use wind power as well to make a better alternative to fossil fuels


What are some examples of things that produce electricity?

Most electricity is generated using coal, oil, natural gas, nuclear energy, or hydropower. Some production is done with alternative fuels like geothermal energy, wind power, biomass, solar energy, or fuel cells. The electricity you buy may be generated using one or more of these methods. No matter what fuels produce the electricity you use, your lights shine, your radio plays, and your computer runs in the same way.


Explain that different fuels have different calorific value and the consequences of this?

Different fuels have different calorific values means that the different fuels have different energy contents. The consequence of this is that for a given energy output, more fuel is required with the liower calorific fuel.

Why do fuels not all release the same amount of energy when they burn?

as far as i know its because some fuels are atomically more dense than others, also because the technology we have may not burn some fuels as efficiently as others

Why is it difficult to burn hydrocarbons fuels?

I think it because there is more energy needed in order to break down the bonds in the hydrocarbon. Making it less efficient for fuels

Do non conventional sources of energy focus on solar energy?

"Non-conventional" refers more or less to anything that is not fossil fuels. It may be solar energy (i.e., directly capturing the solar energy), or several other types of energy - such as wind energy, water energy, and many others more.


List four benefits of using fossil fuels in thermal power stations?

There are several benefits of using fossil fuels as compared to other forms of fuel. Some benefits are that fossil fuels are readily available in large quantity and are easy to process. Other benefits are that fossil fuels produce more energy and are cheaper.
