Nuclear energy originates from the splitting of uranium atoms in a process called fission. At the power plant‚ the fission process is used to generate heat for producing steam‚ which is used by a turbine to generate electricity. Nuclear energy usually means the part of the energy of an atomic nucleus‚ which can be released by fusion or fission or radioactive decay. What are the Benefits of Nuclear Energy Nuclear energy is the world’s largest source of emission-free energy. Nuclear power plants

Alternative Energy Alternative Energy Alternative energy refers to energy sources that have no undesired consequences such for example fossil fuels‚ nuclear energy and falling water. Fossil fuels are coal‚ petroleum and natural gas. There are some characteristics of the fossil fuels that made the concept of alternative energy come into place. (Alternative Energy) One of the fossil fuels‚ Petroleum‚ forms a thin film around the grains of the rock where it formed. Pressure from the overlying rock

Solar Energy Solar energy in one form or another is the source of nearly all energy on the earth. Humans‚ like all other animals and plants‚ rely on the sun for warmth and food. However‚ people also harness the sun’s energy in many other different ways. For example‚ fossil fuels‚ plant matter from a past geological age‚ is used for transportation and electricity generation and is essentially just stored solar energy from millions of years ago. Similarly‚ biomass converts the sun’s energy into a

Geothermal energy What is geothermal energy‚ and how can we use it in society? Geothermal energy is the use of the Earths very own energy. It’s renewable‚ clean and can range to easily acquirable hot springs on the surface or hot rock found a few miles below the surface. Or you can go a bit deeper and hit the extremities of the molten rock (magma). In the US around 80% of all geothermal hotspots are found on the western states i.e. Alaska and Hawaii. Wells are drilled deep into the underground
