Does a nuclear plant generates more energy than a geothermal plant?
Not necessary, it depend on the designed plant size. Nuclear power plant can be as small as few hundred watts to Gigawatts of electricity capacity.
Why is geothermal energy better than coal?
i think it is better because geothermal energy help people with a lot of things and coal doesn't because its bad.
Is geothermal energy gives more electricity than fossil fuels?
it has the potential to, but at present there is not enough geothermal plants to do so.
When and how was geothermal energy first used?
The first use of geothermal energy occurred more than 10,000 years ago in North America by American Paleo-Indians.
Is it ethical to use geothermal energy faster than it can be replaced?
no because it is in the ground
Is solar energy safer then nuclear energy?
Solar energy is certainly safer than nuclear energy, but decidedly more expensive with much greater space requirements...at this time. As solar and other alternative energy sources are developed, it is reasonable to assume that the costs will decrease. Whether or not they will ever decrease to the costs per kilowatt hour that nuclear energy can achieve remains to be seen.
What percentage of Geothermal energy contributes to the US?
Less than 0.05% of american's energy is geothermal
Is geothermal energy more expensive than hydro power?
Yes, geothermal energy is more expensive than hydro power
Does a nuclear plant generates more energy than a geothermal plant?
Not necessary, it depend on the designed plant size. Nuclear power plant can be as small as few hundred watts to Gigawatts of electricity capacity.
What is the most efficient power source Hydro Thermal or Nuclear?
Since hydropower involves the direct change of stored potential kinetic energy into electricity, rather than requiring going through a thermal transfer stage (i.e. heat->kinetic->electric vs kinetic->electric) as in nuclear or geothermal, the "efficiency" of a hydropower plant is certainly higher than a nuclear or geothermal plant. In terms of energy produced per unit of input source (i.e. fuel - water in the case of hydro, steam in the case of geothermal, and fissionable fuel in the case of nuclear), nuclear wins by a massive margin (on the order of millions of times more efficient).
Will nuclear energy run out first than wind or petroleum or geothermal energy?
Wind and geothermal will never run out, but they will not supply the world's demands either. It's not clear how long petroleum will last, more is still being discovered. Uranium will last until the end of this century, at least.
Why is geothermal energy better than coal?
i think it is better because geothermal energy help people with a lot of things and coal doesn't because its bad.
Is nuclear energy cheaper than others than others?
yes i believe that nuclear energy is cheaper than others
What isdifference nuclear fission and nuclear fission?
The difference between Fusion and Fission is that Fission is easier to do and produces more energy than fusion reactions. However fission can be dangerous and is used in Nuclear reactors. Fusion however is safer and produces less energy but safely. It is quite difficult to cause a Fusion reaction however.
Is geothermal energy gives more electricity than fossil fuels?
it has the potential to, but at present there is not enough geothermal plants to do so.
How is geothermal energy better than other types of energy?
There is very little pollution at all.
When and how was geothermal energy first used?
The first use of geothermal energy occurred more than 10,000 years ago in North America by American Paleo-Indians.
