There are no advantages.
The tidal power station is always better because it uses renewable energy. The tides will keep coming in tomorrow if we use them for electricity today. So the tidal power will last as long as the sea keeps moving.
The oil fired power station needs new oil all the time. Oil is a non-renewable resource. When we burn the oil, we have to go and find more for tomorrow. And oil is becoming harder and more expensive to find and produce.
Oil is a fossil fuel, and burning fossil fuels like oil, coal and natural gas contributes to the production of carbon dioxide which is a greenhouse gas..
Actually, there is one advantage - an oil fired power station can be built anywhere, not just by the sea or on a river
What else can I help you with?
How is uranium used as a fossil fuel?
Uranium is not a fossil fuel; uranium is used as nuclear fuel for nuclear power reactors.
What fossils can be formed from plant leaves a thin layer of carbon on rock?
A fossil fuel
What are two things that burn fossil fuel?
Power stations and auto mobiles are two things that use fossil fuels.
Examples of fuels which are not fossil fuels?
There are lots of non-fossil fuels, fossil fuels are non-renewable, other fuels such as wind power or water power are renewable meaning they can be replaced, nuclear power and wood are also non-fossil fuels.
What are the fuel sources for a nuclear power plant?
Natural uranium
What is the defeniton of a fossil fuel power plant?
A fossil fuel power plant is a system of devices for the conversion of fossil fuel energy to mechanical work or electric energy
What is the advantages of coal power plant?
Coal Advantage *World's most abundant fossil fuel; *Large resource base. *Relatively cheap to mine and transport by rail.
What is the difference between the way a fossil fuel power point generates electricity and the way a nuclear power plant generates electricity?
A fossil fuel power plant burns coal, oil, or natural gas to heat water and produce steam, which turns a turbine connected to a generator to produce electricity. In contrast, a nuclear power plant uses nuclear reactions to heat water and produce steam to turn the turbine and generator. Nuclear power plants do not emit greenhouse gases during operation, while fossil fuel power plants do.
What is a steam generator used for in a fossil fuel power plant?
To convert the heat of combustion to steam which can be used in an engine.
Compare a power plant that burns fossil fuels with a nuclear power plant?
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.
Is nuclear power a fossil fuel?
No, nuclear power is not a fossil fuel. Fossil fuels are formed from the remains of living organisms over millions of years, while nuclear power is generated by splitting atoms in a process called nuclear fission.
Do power plants burn fossil fuels?
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.
Is solar power an fossil fuel?
no it is not
What is a fossil fuel power plant?
A fossil fuel power plant is a factory that generates electricity, sells it to the power companies, and they sell it to us.Power plants burn fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) to turn water into steam. This steam is used to spin the electricity turbines, generating electricity.Fossil fuel power plants have the big disadvantage of carbon dioxide emissions. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is building up in the atmosphere causing global warming.The opposite of a fossil fuel power plant is a renewable energy power plant, which generates electricity without any harmful carbon dioxide emissions. Renewable energy (solar, wind, water, hydro, tidal and wave, geothermal, ocean thermal, biomass, biofuel and hydrogen) is being used more and more around the world, replacing old polluting power stations.
How is uranium used as a fossil fuel?
Uranium is not a fossil fuel; uranium is used as nuclear fuel for nuclear power reactors.
Is hydro power considered a fossil fuel?
No no its not
Is a fossil fuel power station sustainable?
No
