power plants are used to generate power...... why they are saying bad means.....in order to generate power u need turbines to rotate and then using generator mechanical energy is converted in to electrical energy..... in order to rotate turbines they are goin for many methods.....some will rotate turbines with high stream..... so u need large amount of water to produce a stream so here wastage of water.... there are some power plants which give pollution.. and nuclear power plant is very dangerous,,, even if small accident or mistake has done means which results in such a vaste danger and damage for living things............... and even other than nuclear powerplants also leads to damage even if a small mistake or error occured means...... if we maintained properly means we can avoid..

Why are power plants bad for the environment?

Fossil fuel power plants are bad for the environment because they produce greenhouse gases, deplete our fossil energy supply, and maintain/increase our dependence on imported oil and gas. They also produce radioactivity - much to some people's surprise - often more than nuclear plants - because they depend on combustion of uranium (radium, thorium, etc.) bearing fuels. Nuclear power plants, on the other hand, are environmentally and ecologically sound, having a smaller risk to benefit ratio. Yes, there have been some bad accidents, but the global picture is that these accidents have been blown out of proportion. Politically, they are a problem, but they are a bigger part of the solution as well.


How efficient are natural gas power plants compared to other types of power plants?

Natural gas power plants are generally more efficient than other types of power plants, such as coal or oil-fired plants. They can convert a higher percentage of the energy in natural gas into electricity, making them a more efficient and cleaner option for generating power.


What continents have the most nuclear power plants?

Europe and North America have the most nuclear power plants. France has the highest concentration of nuclear power plants in Europe, while the United States has the highest number of nuclear power plants in North America.


Why are there only a few power plants?

Building power plants requires a significant investment and resources. Due to factors like cost, regulations, and environmental concerns, not many new power plants are built. Additionally, advancements in renewable energy sources have provided alternatives to traditional power plants.


How many times greater is the amount of electrical energy produced in the US by coal burning power plants than by nuclear power plants?

Coal burning power plants in the US produce around 4 times more electrical energy compared to nuclear power plants.
