Three energy sources that produce greenhouse gases during electricity generation are coal, natural gas, and oil. Coal combustion releases significant amounts of carbon dioxide and other pollutants, while natural gas, though cleaner than coal, still emits methane and CO2 when burned. Oil, primarily used in transportation but also for electricity generation, contributes to greenhouse gas emissions through combustion as well. All three sources contribute to climate change by increasing atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations.

Uranium: A radioactive element used as fuel in nuclear power plants to generate electricity through nuclear fission reactions. Coal: A combustible sedimentary rock that is mined for use in electricity generation, steel production, and industrial processes.


Why do you pay for electricity if all the electricity that flows into your house flows out again?

We pay for electricity even if all the electricity that flows into our houses flows out again because electricity is not a recyclable form of energy not like water which does not stop its cycle in nature. Besides that, we have limited sources of electricity nowadays though, people are still continuing to look for alternative sources. That is also why we are paying much for our electricity.


What is 2 ways to measure electricity besides volts and watts?

Two other ways to measure electricity are current measured in amperes (amps) and resistance measured in ohms. Amperes quantify the flow of electric charge through a circuit, while ohms represent the opposition to the flow of electric current within a circuit.


Besides fuel air and sufficient heat the other consideration in creating a flaming fire is the?

presence of oxygen. Oxygen is necessary for combustion to occur and sustain a fire. Without oxygen, a fire cannot burn.

Why should we save electricity?

We should save electricity so there is enough for people to use when they really need it. In addition, saving electricity reduces the need for natural resources needed to produce electricity, therefor reducing the environmental footprint of our electric grid and making our economy more efficient.
