Nuclear and coal Imagine our ancestor lived in the forest with fire when darkness come, everyone warm and defend them depend on that dire. However, after the applying of the electric, people on longer afraid of dark. At the same time, the electric also promotes many kinds of technology like robots, computers and so on. Gradually, electric had become indispensable in human life. And how does electric produced? The two main ways we use is burning coal and using nuclear power, and these two ways have some commons in power creating and different things on disadvantage and future. The ways that coals and nuclear create electricity is quite similar. Both things create the power by burning them to create heat, making heat work on the water that …show more content…

Compared to the nuclear, the coals are more difficult on improving. First, coals will produce a lot of harmful things to make the environment worse, as I noticed before, the harmful gas cannot be handle well and always discharge without any disposal. At the same time, the resource of coals remains a few. In American, a typical coal plants burns 1.4 million tons of coal each year, that is almost 20 pounds of coal per person every day. Second, the utilization of each coal is nearly full, it is hard to use it more efficiently on producing the electricity unless create another way that use heat to create power. For nuclear, nowadays technology cannot make the heat that nuclear produced heat on water well, and lots of power on nuclear have not been discovered. Second, the remainder of nuclear is much easy to handle. The gas it produced is only hydrogen and water that have no disadvantage, and the waste can be handle by using the correct way. In this society that focus on environmental production, the more environmental and promising nuclear has more possibility to be the main way to produce
