Cheap is an emotional word, it means different things to different people. I find electricity expensive now, but then I remember when it was much cheaper.
They generate electrical energy
You have to have power plants because without them we would not have enough power =)
Nuclear energy, or nuclear power, uses exothermic nuclear processes to produce electricity. Nuclear power plants provide around 10% of the world's electricity.
Nuclear power plants do not cause thermal polution.
The source of energy in almost all nuclear power plants is fission or the splitting of the atom. There are a few experimental fusion power plants, (or the joining of the atoms), but, there are few of them, since the energy needed to produce fusion is extremly high, and only last a few seconds. Around 99.99% of nuclear power plants are fission power plants.
yesh ih is cheap!!
Nuclear power plants provide cheap electricity to power people's homes.
They are expensive to build but relatively cheap to run because the fuel costs are lower.
Geothermal power plants are used to provide power to the power distribution grid, just like other traditional power plants. Since geothermal power plants are able to run around the clock, they are used to provide baseline power, unlike many other renewable energy sources such as solar or wind.
Hydroelectric power plants
Nuclear, coal-fired, and hydroelectric power plants provide electricity.
Africa
Yes, about 20%
Some advantages of power plants are clean source of energy and efficient. Disadvantages of power plants are dangerous and is difficult to dispose of waste.
Cheap, reliable, don't need to change current power plants
Because hydroelectric plants are important because they provide a low poultion and cheap energy. The plants are expensive to build.
POne good thing is that they provide a decent amount of power
Clean, cheap energy that will never run out produced in a relatively small power plant. It's a no-brainer.
