Q1. Read the paragraph and answer the following questions: -
As we become more and more familiar with the harmful effects of burning fossil fuels, we need to look for alternatives. Nuclear energy is one of such examples. It is a carbon Free energy source and can provide a major solution to global warming and energy security. Nuclear energy is much more proficient than other energy source. However, the development and use of nuclear energy has its flaws also. The potential for severe harm caused by nuclear energy to human communities and future generations is too great a threat to our collective survival.
1.1. How far is nuclear energy really a viable source of energy?
1.2. How can technological advancements fulfil the increasing demand for energy? Give examples of substantiate your answer.
1.3. Why should we discourage burning of fossil fuels? List any three reasons
Answers
Answer:
1.1. It keeps away from the cities or more than 100 km from the cities because due to earthquake there is chances to collapse the nuclear energy plant and if it collapse it would cause more than 100km area.
1.2. Today, renewable energy accounts for close to 19 percent of the total energy consumed across the world from sources such as hydro, solar, wind, geo-thermal and bio-mass energy. Renewable energy is quickly gathering momentum due to technological advancements as well as increased demand for energy that is affordable and green. As renewable energy markets and industries mature, they are making way for a wide range of opportunities, with new sets of challenges.
1.3. We should discourage burning of fossil fuels because -
1.The burning of fossil fuels causes very much air pollution.
2.The burning of fossil fuels emits large amount of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide which causes climate change and global warming.
3.The burning of fossil fuels releases Sulphur dioxide gas which is highly corrosive and suffocating gas.
Explanation:
Please mark as brainiest
Answer:
1. Nuclear has the highest capacity factor
As we can see, nuclear energy has by far the highest capacity factor of any other energy. this basically means nuclear power plants are producing maximum power more than 93 percent of the time during the year
Explanation:
i can hope this is very use full your study thank you
