Nuclear fuel produces millions of times more power than coal, and relatively speaking it is considerably safer. Coal burning is estimated to have caused several million deaths due to the mining in particular leading to respiratory disease. The secondary effects of coal burning on humans are the environmental affects which kill thousands every year. Coal burning will always cause environmental damage when nuclear power does not necessarily do this. Current nuclear reactors are based on nuclear fission, which do have the potential to cause a large amount of environmental damage if not handled correctly. Current research into nuclear FUSION power means that in a matter of decades we will posses extremely safe, efficient, nearly unlimited and non-radioactive power production.
Nuclear power produces no carbon dioxide emissions unlike coal or oil power production.
The Avantages Are:
1. You Cant Die
2.
Nuclear fuel is not a natural resource and that is what the Power Plant needs for producing energy
It is better for the environment because it does not release polluting gases like fossil fuels do.
Fossil fuels ends soon and not all countries have reserves. Also nuclear energy pollutes less than burning 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.
There are no alternatives to fossil fuels. Fossil fuels were formed by life trapping sunlight falling on Earth over time periods of hundreds of millions of years. There is no realistic alternative for this source (amount) of energy. Once these fuels are used up all we will have is a little nuclear energy and access to the day to day energy currently falling on the planet. This will not be enough to sustain our civilization. The only hope is progress with nuclear fusion energy research.
Fossil Fuels =)
The lack of fossil fuels (for energy) and the intention to destroy other countries (for nuclear weapons of imperialists).
Nuclear energy does not come from fossil fuels
no
Nuclear fuel has a higher energy density than fossil fuels.
extracting energy from nuclear fuels is more expensive than extracting energy from fossil fuels
magnitude
Nuclear energy conserves the use of fossil fuel because if there is a nuclear power station there is no need to burn fossil fuel in that region.
If you use nuclear energy in place of fossil fuels, you are conserving the fossil fuel, that is reducing the amount you use.
extracting energy from nuclear fuels is more expensive than extracting energy from fossil fuels
Fossil fuels ends soon and not all countries have reserves. Also nuclear energy pollutes less than burning fossil fuels.
it is way better than fossil fuels
nuclear energy and burning fossil fuels to push turbines that make electricity. ************************************************* the two main sources are burning lots of fossil fuels and nuclear energy
Answerfossil fuels, because nuclear energy will always be on earth no matter what.AnswerSince neither fossil fuels nor nuclear fuels are renewable, we will run out of both.Our supply of nuclear may outlast our supply of oil, but it will not outlast our supply of coal or oil shale.The good news is that technology is developing very quickly for renewable energy, so we will probably need neither fossil fuels nor nuclear in the long term.
