Thermal power plants are one of the main sources of electricity in both industrialized and developing countries. These plants have drawn flak on consumption of non-renewable sources of energy at a rapid rate and also since they release huge amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. The anti-greenhouse gas activists are calling for thermal power to be replaced by other cleaner sources of energy. Functioning of thermal power plant: In a thermal power plant‚ one of coal‚ oil or natural gas

or other countries. “How about building the nuclear power plant in your house yard?” The most classic riposte on the proposal of building a nuclear power plant‚ first broached in 1966 (Patchimpattapong‚ 2010) ‚ has lasted more than forty years in Thailand. Having obstructed the realization of the plant for almost half a century‚ the grievous concern over safety issue is warranted by the list of more than thirty nuclear power plant accidents since 1957‚ led by the most devastating Chernobyl

INTRODUCTION [SLIDE 2] Many chemical compounds found in the Earth’s atmosphere act as “greenhouse gases.” These gases allow sunlight to enter the atmosphere freely. When sunlight strikes the Earth’s surface‚ some of it is reflected back towards space as infrared radiation (heat). Greenhouse gases absorb this infrared radiation and trap the heat in the atmosphere. Over time‚ the amount of energy sent from the sun to the Earth’s surface should be about the same as the amount of energy radiated back
