the environmental effects of using nuclear energy and coal energy ( detailed instructions are provided )
A comparison of the environmental effects of using nuclear energy and coal energy ( detailed instructions are provided )
Instructions:
Your task is to compare the environmental and public health impact of one energy source for the production of electricity with the effects of coal (choose from nuclear, natural gas, hydro, solar, wind, geothermal or biomass). Assuming now a significant contribution of this technology to electricity production (assume production of 10% of US electricity production by your energy source, if currently lower), what health effects and environmental damage would be expected at that level of energy production? Note that if you choose solar, wind or other technologies currently below 10% you would have to describe how that increase is to be achieved (how many wind turbines, how great an area of solar panels, what solar technology, etc.)
