If fossil fuels are used to power plants, this can kill trees. The pollution that comes from the plants can cause plants to die.
The cost of power per Kwh from nuclear plants is now reckoned to be similar to fossil fuelled plants. The makeup of the costs is different however. Fossil fuelled plants are cheaper to build, but the fuel costs are higher, so it is always a difficult one for a power company to decide. See the link below.
Fossil Fuel Plants produce massive amounts of carcinogenics into the atmosphere, not only increasing the rate of global warming but also increasing the cancer rates among humans. In fact, more radiation is released by Fossil Fuel power plants than by nuclear power plants. This is due to radioactive carbon as well as other radioactive elements actively released in coal plants.
Power plants, steam locomotives, and some homes.
Power plants that burn fossil fuels and nuclear power plants are very similar in their manner of creating steam. The main difference between the two types of power plants are that fossil fuel plants emit more pollution.
Fossil fuel is obtained from plants by the process of photosynthesis.
In general, hydroelectric power generation is much cheaper than plants using fossil fuels. In the second attached link, it is stated that the average operating cost for a hydroelectric plant is around six cents per kilowatt while an fossil fuel power plants operating cost average is above 2 cents per kilowatt.
Fossil Fuel Power Plants were created when.....
Some power plants do. Any plant that burns oil, coal, or gas from underground resources could be considered a "fossil fuel" plant. There are however nuclear, solar, hydro-electric and wind powered power plants.
Coal powers some electricity plants in China.Some of China's coal comes to us in the u.s. However when we use coal it powers fossil fuel plants and nuclear plants around the u.s. and even the world.
Two advantages of burning fossil fuels are that they are readily available and cost-effective sources of energy. Fossil fuel power plants can also be easily integrated into existing infrastructure, allowing for reliable and consistent energy production.
