What is natural gas/ What is in it

A fossil fuel created from residue from plants and animals. It is mainly made of methane but also made of hydrocarbon and nonhydrocarbon gases

How is natural gas produced?

Natural gas is produced when the increase in temperature and pressure surrounds the layers of dead microscopic ocean organisms that become sedimentary rock and then turn into natural gas.

Is natural gas renewable or nonrenewable?

Natural gas is a nonrenewable energy resource

Is natural gas expensive to produce?

Natural gas is not expensive to produce it is only about 3$ per cubic foot

Does natural gas cause pollution?

Nitrogen oxides, and little bits of sulfur, mercury, and particulates are the pollutants that are caused by natural gas

What is coal/ What is in it

Coal is a sedimentary rock with a lot of carbon and hydrocarbons also otherwise known as a fossil fuel. Coal is mainly made of carbon but also has bits of hydrogen, sulfur, oxygen, and nitrogen

How is coal produced?

The remains of plants and animals on land then get covered with dirt and rocks that then turn into coal when heat and pressure are applied.

Is coal renewable or nonrenewable?

Coal is a nonrenewable energy resource

Is coal expensive to produce?

Coal is expensive, it has now become more expensive than solar and wind power. To produce a ton of coal it would cost about 92$ to 102$.

Does coal cause pollution?

Sulfur dioxide, Nitrogen oxides, and  Particulates are the pollutants that are caused by coal

What is solar power / What is in it

Solar power is energy that comes from the sun and is converted into electricity or thermal energy. solar energy is made of nuclear energy

How is solar power produced?

PV cells in Solar panels absorb energy from sunlight. This energy  causes electrical charges that move according to an internal field in the cell causing the flow of electricity

Is solar power renewable or nonrenewable?

Solar energy is a  renewable energy resource

Is solar power expensive to produce?

Solar energy is cheaper to produce than coal or other fossil fuels. In Alabama, it  costs about 2.45$ to produce a watt of solar energy in Alabama

Does solar power cause pollution?

Solar energy does not cause pollution.

What is petroleum/ What is in it

Petroleum is a type of fossil fuel that is made from decomposed plants and animals which is found underground and can be refined into oil

How is petroleum produced?

The remains of plants and animals became sedimentary rock after many years of being buried, and then heat and pressure were applied causing the remains of the animals to become petroleum.

Is petroleum renewable or nonrenewable?

Petroleum is a nonrenewable energy resource

Is petroleum expensive to produce?

Petroleum is more on the expensive side when it comes to the cost of production the average oil per barrel is 20$-90$

Does petroleum cause pollution?

Yes, petroleum causes pollution. The pollutants that are caused by the pollution of  Petroleum are nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, hydrogen sulfide, and sulfur dioxide

What is Wind power/ What is in it

When mechanical power or energy is generated by wind. Kinetic energy is in wind power

How is Wind power produced?

The blades on the wind turbine gather the wind's kinetic energy and then convert the kinetic energy into electrical energy.

Is Wind power renewable or nonrenewable?

Wind power is a renewable energy resource

Is Wind power expensive to produce?

The cheapest way to generate electricity nowadays is wind energy. They generate about 5 cents per kilowatt

Does Wind power cause pollution?

No wind power does not cause pollution.

What is Ocean Tide power/ What is in it

It is power determined by the ocean tide. The water from the tides and the ocean is in Ocean Tide power.

How is Ocean Tide power produced?

Ocean tide power is produced by the rise of the tide and the tide is determined by the gravitational pull of the sun, moon, and earth.

Is Ocean Tide power renewable or nonrenewable?

Ocean Tide Power is a renewable energy resource

Is Ocean Tide power expensive to produce?

Ocean Tide Power is expensive to produce which is one of its downsides.

Does Ocean Tide power cause pollution?

Ocean tide power does not cause pollution.

What is Hydroelectric power/ What is in it

Hydroelectric power is the power that is generated from a dam that is built on a river to alter its flow. Hydroeltrical power consists of the artificial water that comes from the dams

How is Hydroelectric power produced?

Hydroelectric power is produced when the water from the water source flows through a pipe or penstock that pushes on a blade in a turbine causing it to spin powering a generator which produces electricity

Is Hydroelectric power renewable or nonrenewable?

Hydroelectric  power is a renewable energy resource

Is Hydroelectric power expensive to produce?

Hydroelectricity is an affordable way to produce energy, it is cheaper than most of the other ways

Does Hydroelectric power cause pollution?

No,  hydroelectric power does not cause pollution

What is Nuclear Fission / What is in it

Nuclear Fission happens when atoms split apart and release energy. iodine, cesium, strontium, xenon, and barium are all in nuclear fission.

How is Nuclear Fission produced?

Nuclear Fission is produced when the collision of two light atomic nuclei causes it to become heavier once and when all of this is happening lots of energy is released.

Is Nuclear Fission renewable or nonrenewable?

Nuclear Fission is a nonrenewable energy resource

Is Nuclear fission expensive to produce?

A nuclear fission plant is more expensive to build than a coal-fueled one, so yes nuclear fission is expensive to produce.

Does Nuclear Fission cause pollution?

Yes, nuclear fission causes pollution. The major pollutant that is caused is radioactive waste.
