power-generating capacity able to meet all needs. Nuclear Power is the most environmentally favorable way of producing electricity on a large scale. For example‚ a gram of uranium‚ which is used as fuel for Nuclear Power‚ produces energy as much as four tons of coal. Wood produces even less energy. Nuclear Power produces huge amounts of energy from small amounts of fuel. Nuclear Power is also able to meet industrial and city needs as compared to low-power technologies like solar that might meet only local‚ residential

Canada need to completely get rid of the use of Coal Burning Power Plants. Although coal has been known to be efficient and inexpensive there are to many drawbacks continuing use coal. Coal is very bad for the environment because it causes an immense amount of atmospheric pollution. Coal produces carbon dioxide‚ a greenhouse gas and when it is released into the air it dramatically changes the climate. For every one tonne of coal the power plants produce it releases four tonnes of carbon

Experiment 1: The Effects of Coal Mining Coal mining‚ particularly surface mining‚ leads to large areas of land being temporarily disturbed. The mine workings collect and conduct water that is in contact with the widespread pyrite‚ a mineral that produces iron and sulfuric acid when exposed to air and water. In this lab‚ you will see first-hand the reasons why mine drainage can be harmful to the local drainage system if left untreated. Materials: (3) 100 mL Beakers 1 tsp. Crushed pyrite 1 tsp. Activated

Coal-fired power stations are less polluting than they once were‚ but still produce large amounts of greenhouse gases. However‚ some believe the emerging technology of "carbon capture"‚ in which emissions are not released into the atmosphere‚ could see a new lease of life for coal. * Power from running water currently supplies

Electricity in Ireland In the 19th century‚ the electrical revolution‚ which was sweeping the rest of the developed world‚ looked set to bypass Ireland. Only a few selected locations around the country had this incredible new power source ’on tap’. However‚ thanks to the determination of a handful of far-sighted people‚ electricity was soon to take its first tentative steps towards becoming the ubiquitous and indispensable power source it has proved to be.
