Sentences with phrase «output than nuclear power»

Not exact matches

But the windmills killing birds does far less damage to the environment than a comparably sized (in terms of power output) coal or nuclear power plant.

The supply is unreliable, although more consistent than wind generation which is notoriously unreliable and thermal, nuclear, or hydro power (if available) is required to carry sufficient reserve in the grid system to compensate for any changes in solar plant output due to any changes in sunlight during the day.

Nuclear power, however, emits more than twice the total heat as its electrical output without the benefits of CO2 in the photosynthesis cycle.

Likewise if heat is indeed the main factor, nuclear power, though CO2 - free, can not be an alternative since total heat emitted by nuclear power plants is more than twice the electrical output.

Just down the road from us is Didcot A power station, a large coal - burning plant with poor pollution control and therefore with substantial effects on local air quality, as well as more substantial emissions of radiation than from any UK nuclear power station and a Co2 output of about 8 million tonnes a year.

It might even be argued that variable wind power is no more of a problem than inflexible «baseload» generators such as coal - fired plants and nuclear, which maintain a relatively steady output regardless of demand, and regardless of output from renewable plants.

Likewise nuclear power produces no CO2 but does emit more than twice the total heat than its electrical output.
