Waste from nuclear power plants is stored in drums with thick shides that do not let the nuclear radiation escape.

-
natural resources from which we obtain different forms of energy that can be transformed for specific use.
most widely used, because it can be easily transformed into other forms of energy, and can be transported long distances inexpensively and with very
little energy being lost
-
-
+ / - : pros: contaminate much less, use renowable sources and reduce the energy dependence of petroleum and natural gas. Cons: generate much less energy, since they use diffuse energy sources.
-
to find out what changes it would
provoke in the environment. This study must also assess both the economic and social consequences of the project in the area. In it you must put the type of power plant, the enviromental impact it would have, the energy that is used, and the advantages and disatvantages.
hydroelectric power plants: change the natural cycle of rivers, flood large land areas and destroy ecosystems and increase the risk of accidents.
conventional thermal power plants: produce air pollution, They emit large amounts of COa which increases the greenhouse effect, They emit sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxide that cause acid rain and also the water used is returned to the enviroment affecting animals and plants.
nuclear thermal power plants: risk of nuclear accidents and the problem of nuclear waste
Oil is transported by means of oil pipelines and oil tankers. that can have accidents in the sea resulting in a uncontrolled spills, some of this have caused oi slicks that have aftected the lives of many plant and animal species.
install special filters on the pipes at the power plant, Use coal with a low sulphur content and Maintain and increase the size of large forested areas.
. increase efficiency of everyday, appliances and devices
. reduce the energy we consume
. use of renewable energy source . produce a large part of our electricity through alternative power plants.
