Presentation transcript:

 Nuclear power- When you split an atom, the energy can be used to make steam, which is used to turn a turbine to make electricity.  Biomass Briquettes- Burn to power boilers which generate steam

NUCLEARBIOMASS BRIQUETTES  Does not emit carbon, sulfur, or nitrogen gasses  Replaces coal  Renewable  Cheap  Made from plants and dead organisms

NUCLEARBIOMASS BRIQUETTES  Causes radiation  Mining for uranium destroys habitats  Uses a lot of water  Uranium is very limited  Emits greenhouse gasses  Not enough dead plant or animal material

NUCLEARBIOMASS BRIQUETTES  Too much toxic waste  Animals would start losing their homes from the uranium mining  Water can become toxic from the waste  Uses a large amount of water  Takes too much energy to make  Need a large amount of plants that grow quickly to make enough

NUCLEARBIOMASS BRIQUETTES  Toxic waste  Steam  Radiation  Carbon  Nitrogen oxide  Sulfur oxide
