Uses for nuclear and wind energy NuclearWind ∙ most well known by people is the fire power which is the nuclear bombs. ∙can be generated to fuel a submarine ∙can be used for giving batteries energy ∙may be used to treat cancer and heart disease with small amounts of radioactivity ∙was used to power space crafts ∙can be used to power cargo ships ∙wind energy can be used for water pumps without pollution ∙wind energy has been used to fuel cars from electricity ∙ wind energy is needed for many sports like kiting ∙wind energy can be used to power a generator for electricity replacing batteries

Important Details for Nuclear energy Nuclear energy is created by fission which is a process when nuclei or radioactive atoms release energy that can be used for electricity. There is also a process called fusion in which you join two nuclei to also create electrical energy. It is nonrenewable because it is created in a lab by non-natural events. It was founded accidently in a lab in 1896 by Enrico Fermi.
5
Important details for wind energy Wind energy is mainly used to power machines through electricity Wind energy is renewable because it is powered through the sun. Wind power was first used in 1978 for powering generators
6
Advantages and disadvantages for nuclear energy AdvantagesDisadvantages It can provide alternate sources of energy. If using fusion there are few dangerous wastes. Generates a large amount of energy Fusion happens naturally to the sun. Helps keep the air clean and prevents acid rain. Nuclear power plants release radioactive wastes that has to be stored until radioactivity is dropped If using fusion you must use very high temperatures to work. If cooling system breaks radiation can be released. If using fusion you can not use it on any earth environment. No item has ever with standed fusion EVER.

Advantages and disadvantages of wind energy AdvantagesDisadvantages Wind energy is renewable Does not cause pollution. Does not affect animals and their habitats Does not take hard labor or a lot of human work Can inspire new electric fuel which is good for the environment Sometimes the wind isn't strong enough to power turbines. Is very expensive. Needs a lot of wind energy to work. The process takes a long time to get power from the sun. Can hurt job options for manufacturing.
