I believe that the current and only theory of matter being destroyed involves black holes. Where did you hear this? I am interested.

What gases do power plants let off?

It depends what type of power plant. A coal-burning power plant will produce CO2 and SO2, which are both pollutants. Nuclear power plants and geothermal power plants produce steam, which is not a pollutant. There are many other types of power plants, but most produce CO2 and SO2 or steam.


What are the pollution statistics for coal fired power plants?

Coal-fired power plants are a significant source of air and water pollution. They release pollutants such as sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, particulate matter, and mercury, contributing to smog, acid rain, and health issues. The emissions from coal-fired power plants are regulated, but they still have a significant impact on the environment and public health.


What does the smoke from power plants consists of?

The smoke from power plants consists of a variety of pollutants such as carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and particulate matter. These pollutants can contribute to air pollution, acid rain, and climate change. Efforts to reduce these emissions are important for protecting human health and the environment.


Do nuclear power plants pollute more than coal power plants?

No. Nuclear power is more efficient because nuclear power is used as splitting atoms, making big bursts of energy, whereas coal power is simply burning coal. So nuclear power uses uranium fission to create energy (electricity), whereas coal power burns coal, emitting carbon. (Mind you, nuclear energy leaves behind radioactive waste - that is arguably easier to deal with for the time being. Not to mention that accidents at nuclear plants can have devastating environmental effects.


What element is fuel in nuclear power plants?

Uranium is the primary fuel used in nuclear power plants. Specifically, uranium-235 is the isotope that undergoes nuclear fission to generate heat in these plants.

When you smash an atom is that matter being destroyed?

When an atom is smashed, its constituent particles do not cease to exist, although depending upon the energies involved, they may be changed into different particles. It is a well established law of nature that mass-energy is conserved, which is to say, it is not created or destroyed, although it can be changed into many different forms. Although matter is not destroyed, it can be converted into energy under some circumstances. Some nuclear processes to result in some of the matter in the atom being converted to energy. This is the source of the energy released by nuclear power plants, or nuclear bombs.

Is energy generated or destroyed?

Energy exists, it is not "generated" or destroyed, as stated in the First Law of Thermodynamics . In electric power plants, energy is converted from chemical energy to mechanical energy to electrical energy.


Where did you find power plant?

Power plants, being immobile usually, are usually found exactly where they were built.

How can there be a nuclear disaster in Japan?

The tsunami wiped out almost all of Japan knocking down many buildings such as skyscrapers and nuclear power plants that were operating in Japan. The tsunami destroyed the nuclear power plants and radiation leaked out which caused a raging panic among the people of Japan.


Does carbon dioxide absorb most of the sunlight that reaches Earth's atmosphere?

No. Carbon dioxide is the reason why our Earth is being destroyed due to fossil fuels, power plants etc. The carbon dioxide stops the suns harmful rays from radiating back into Outer Space.
