How is nuclear power better than fossil fuels?
because fossil fules will run out eventually and when it does the world will explode and we will all die so you better panic because you are all going to die soon and if you dont panic you will die quicker.
What is the negative impact of fossil fuels for energy?
Fossil fuels contribute to air pollution, which can lead to respiratory issues and exacerbate climate change through the release of greenhouse gases. Extracting and burning fossil fuels also have environmental consequences like habitat destruction and water contamination. Additionally, reliance on fossil fuels perpetuates the unsustainable depletion of resources.
What are fossil fuel examples?
solar energy
Are there alternative fuels besides oil?
yes, there are tons of alternative fuels besides oil. i am doing a research project right now in my English class on alternative fuels. so far, i have found biomass fuels, biodiesel, natural gas, alcohol, and french fry oil. hope you can search farther into what you have learned from me....
Why are there not more nuclear power plants than plants that burn fossil fuels?
Largely history I think, fossil fuels started to be used for electricity from 1880 onwards, whereas nuclear didn't start until the late 1950's and at first it was semi-military in its origin, true commercial exploitation didn't start until the 1960's. Then it turned out to be rather more expensive to build nuclear plants than first thought, and the Three Mile Island incident discouraged power companies from investing in nuclear, whilst the availability of natural gas and the cheapness of plants to use it encouraged that fuel to take up the extra load demand, both in the US and Europe. In France the opposite happened, without their own source of natural gas, the French decided that nuclear was the route for them and now have about 75 percent nuclear, so one can conclude that given the right circumstances nuclear can become predominant. This is probably helped by having a nationalised electricity body since Government can take economic risks which companies owned by shareholders may avoid. This also applied in the UK, the AGR reactors would certainly not have been proceeded with after early setbacks unless the CEGB had been the body buying them, and as soon as the industry was privatised and broken into smaller units (by the Thatcher government) nuclear orders ceased. Ironically, now that nuclear plants are again required in the UK, only the French or possibly US industry can supply them.
Does fossil fuels get its energy from nuclear fusion?
no
Is it true that coal and natural gas are the main fossil fuels used in nuclear power stations?
Fossil fuels are not used in nuclear power stations. Nuclear fuel is used (uranium)
How does nuclear energy conserve fossil fuels?
Nuclear energy does not rely on burning fossil fuels to generate electricity, which helps reduce the consumption of these limited resources. By using nuclear power as a clean alternative, we can preserve fossil fuels for other important uses such as transportation and heating.
How are nuclear energy and fossil fuels different?
magnitude
How do you compare oil with wood as a fuel?
fossil fuels
Does nuclear power come from fossil fuels?
No, nuclear power does not come from fossil fuels. Instead, it is generated through nuclear reactions, primarily the fission of uranium or plutonium atoms. This process produces heat, which is then used to generate electricity. Unlike fossil fuels, nuclear power does not produce carbon emissions during electricity generation.
Is bio fuels wind nuclear or fossil fuels least damaging to the environment?
Wind.
Will fossil fuels never run out?
fossil fuels will run out in: 50 years for oil 250 for nuclear and coal will run out in 80 years...
Fossil fuels form from nuclear chain reactions?
Fossil fuels do not form from nuclear chain reactions. Fossil fuels are formed from the decay of organic matter over millions of years in the Earth's crust. Nuclear chain reactions refer to the process of nuclear fission in which atomic nuclei split, releasing energy.
How does nuclear energy differ from fossil fuels?
With fossil fuels we burn them to produce heat. With nuclear fuel we produce a nuclear chain reaction in a reactor which produces heat. Using the heat to produce electricity is the same for both types of fuel.
Which fossil fuels are used to generate electricity in France?
nuclear power
Is there a better alternative if fossil fuels run out?
yes nuclear power
