Good effects on the environment:
- none
Bad effects on the environment:
- diesel is a fossil fuel so it emits carbon dioxide, which is causing global warming.
- usually used in remote areas away from the electricity grid, so diesel has to be trucked there with the resultant damage to vegetation and the environment from vehicles and spills.

What are the factories called that process electricity?
electricity is made in a power plant.
When did the operation of the largest solar power plant in the Philippines start?
The solar photovoltaic power plant of the Cagayan Electric Power and Light Company, Inc. (CEPALCO), is not only the largest solar power plant in the Philippines, but in the entire Southeast Asia. CEPALCO started operating the plant last July 2004.
When properly operating the type of power plant coal hydroelectric natural gas nuclear solar wind that releases the most radioactivity into the environment is?
Nuclear power plants release the most radioactivity into the environment compared to other types of power plants. However, modern nuclear plants are designed with multiple layers of protection to prevent the release of radioactivity. When operated properly and following safety protocols, nuclear plants pose minimal risk to the environment.
What would happen if the Pickering power plant leaked?
If the Pickering power plant were to leak, particularly if it involved radioactive materials, it could pose significant risks to public health and the environment. Contamination of nearby water sources, soil, and air could occur, leading to potential exposure to radiation for local populations. Emergency response protocols would be activated, involving evacuation measures and extensive monitoring. Long-term effects could include health issues for affected individuals and ecological damage, necessitating a thorough investigation and cleanup efforts.
What is the capacity of tidal power plant?
The capacity of a tidal power plant can vary depending on its size and location. On average, a tidal power plant can have a capacity ranging from a few megawatts to several hundred megawatts. It is important to consider factors such as tidal range and flow velocity when determining the capacity of a tidal power plant.
What are the effects of power plant?
There are varied effects of power plant. This will provide the necessary energy required in most industrial, commercial and residential activities but also affects the environment negatively due to pollution.
What are the effects of plant?
There are varied effects of power plant. This will provide the necessary energy required in most industrial, commercial and residential activities but also affects the environment negatively due to pollution.
How does power plant affects the environment?
Air pollution
Which energy producing plants has the best enviromental record of power plant?
Just about all power plants have a negative effect on the environment however, if a nuclear power plant is run properly it has a chance of not polluting the environment almost at all.
What is the positive impact of the power plant on the environment?
Produces electricity with out polluting the air
What are some of the effects of wind power in your environment?
Blows trees over, damages roofs of houses
What are some factors that make environmentalists against nuclear power stations In other words what are the major environmental effects of a nuclear power station?
Nuclear power stations use local water supplies to cool their reactors and dump a lot of ambient heat into the environment as a result. Many also have concerns about the radiation in the plant and its effects on the environment should the plant become breached and the fact that the nuclear waste produced by the plant will remain dangerous for thousands of years wherever it ends up being stored. However, it should be noted that a gram of uranium can produce the equivalent energy of tons of coal, so nuclear plants produce reliable power without burning fossil fuels.
Why is a power plant bad for the environment?
Nuclear power plants are bad for the environment because of the unpreventable release of radioactive materials. What many people forget is that radiation is energy, not a material. A material that emits radiation is called radioactive material. Back to the point, radiation causes long-term effects and can pollute almost everything. Water is used to cool reactors and when it leaks into the environment, radiation poisoning is usually the effect. Radiation that comes from the power plant itself can poison surrounding plants, animals, and people. Effects from high radiation exposure (the sun emits radiation) are radiation poisoning, cancer, brain damage, birth defects, infertility, etc.
What are the good effects of nuclear power plant in Bataan?
I believe this was built but never fuelled or operated. Therefore it can have had no effects, and won't unless it is put into service.
Why is waste from power stations a problem?
Because unlike other sources of energy, Nuclear power is toxic. Runoff and meltdowns can have extremely bad effects on the environment.
What is Russia's human environment interaction?
The Chernobyl Nuclear power plant accident in 1986 that contaminated much of the surrounding lands is an example of human environment interaction.
What would happen if a nuclear power plant was bombed?
If a nuclear power plant was bombed, it could lead to a release of radioactive materials into the environment, causing widespread contamination and potentially harmful health effects for nearby populations. The explosion could also damage the plant's infrastructure, leading to a loss of control over the nuclear reactions and a risk of a meltdown. Emergency response efforts would be needed to contain the situation and protect public safety.
