Why The World Need Nuclear Energy Thermal power stations harness nuclear energy by utilizing the thermal energy released from burning fossil fuels released from the nucleus of atoms through nuclear fission taking place in a nuclear reactor. Nuclear power has enormous advantages regarding the production costs and environmental impacts. Nuclear power is a critical technology of the power production because of the restricted carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. The entire lifecycle of energy production

marks] Global warming is the gradual increase in the average temperature of the earth’ s atmosphere, generally attributed to the greenhouse effect caused by increased levels of pollution due to industrailisation, deforestation and the burning of fossil fuels to generate energy. Developed countries such as North America demand the developing countries to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. This has become an issue for developing countries as they finally have a chance to improve their own economic development

the atmosphere and act as a blanket, trapping heat and warmth in the planet. The rest of the gases get through the ozone layer which then won’t cause any more damage to the ozone layer and cause won’t global warming to get even worse. When we burn fossil fuels like coal, oil and natural gas all of the carbon dioxide produced gets released into the atmosphere and makes the ozone layer thicker and the planet warmer. | Global warming creates lots of problems and changes to the way that we live.

that over the past century another source has influenced the change of Earth’s temperature: mankind. Scientists from NASA’s Earth Observatory suggests that these significant changes are primarily due to the release of greenhouse gases as people burn fossil fuels, given the fact that the rate of temperature increase nearly doubled in the last 50 years (GlobalWarming, 2014, para. 3). Greenhouse gases allow sunlight to shine into the atmosphere freely. When the sunlight strikes the Earth’s surface, some

HOW IS COAL FORMED Fossil fuel formed from the remains of vegetation that grew about 300 - 400 million years ago when the earth was covered by steamy swamps Often referred to as “buried sunshine” Plants which formed coal captured energy from the sun through photosynthesis to create the compounds that make up plant tissue Most important element in plant material is carbon - gives coal most of its energy When the plantation and animals died, their remains sank to the bottom of these swamps
