Power plants generate electricity using both renewable and nonrenewable resources. Nonrenewable resources like coal, gas, and oil are being depleted. Renewable resources such as solar panels, wind turbines, falling water, and biomass are increasingly important sources of energy. Nuclear power plants use controlled nuclear fission to generate electricity but also carry safety risks like radiation exposure and meltdowns if overheated. The document suggests that solar panels are currently the most useful renewable resource due to their abundant energy production and minimal environmental impact, though they require sunshine to function.

- 1. P OWER P LANTS By Duck May Flower
- 2. ITS A WAY TO GENERATE ELECTRICITY FOR OUR HOMES
- 4. THIS IS THE PLACE WHERE WE CREATE ELECTRICITY
- 5. A POWER STATION CREATES ABOUT 25,000 VOLTS.
- 6. USING FUELS TO CREATE ELECTRICITY
- 7. TO CREATE ELECTRICITY, WE USE BOTH RENEWABLE AND NONRENEWABLE RESOURCES
- 8. NONRENEWABLE RESOURCES INCLUDE COAL, GAS AND OIL.
- 9. COAL BY BURNING COAL, IT RELEASES THE ENERGY THAT IS KEPT INSIDE.
- 10. UNFORTUNATELY WE ARE RUNNING OUT OF THEM
- 11. NOW WE ARE SEARCHING FOR RENEWABLE RESOURCES: SUCH AS
- 12. USING THE SOLAR PANNELS TO CREATE ELECTRICTY.
- 13. OR THE WIND TURBINE.
- 14. AND USING THE POWER OF FALLING WATER
- 15. BIOMASS
- 16. NUCLEAR POWER PLANT USES CONTROLLED NUCLEAR FISSION.
- 17. WHEN A ATOM FISSIONS, IT BREAKS INTO FRAGMENTS
- 18. WHEN HAPPENS, THE ATOM LOOSES FEW NEUTRONS.
- 19. FISSION CAN OCCUR WHEN A HEAVY ATOM GETS A NEW NEUTRON OR IT CAN SIMPLY HAPPEN
- 20. 油
- 22. 油
- 23. FISSILE ISOTOPES THEY ARE THE ISOTOPES OF SOME ELEMENT WHICH CAN BE SPLIT THROUGH FISSION.
- 24. DANGER OF NUCLEAR POWER WHILE WE PRODUCE ELECTRICITY, PEOPLE GET HURT BY THE RADIOACTIVITY RELEASED
- 25. Nuclear Meltdown OVERHEATING IN THE CENTER OF A NUCLEAR REACTOR LEADS TO MELTING AND RADIATION ESCAPING INTO NATURE
- 26. SOLAR PANELS ARE THE BEST. WHICH IS THE MOST USEFUL?
- 27. SOLAR PANNELS GIVE A LOT OF ENERGY, AND ARE FAIRLY ECOLOGICAL.
- 28. THE ONLY PROBLEM WITH SOLAR PANELS IS THAT YOU NEED SUNSHINE TO PRODUCE ENERGY
- 29. 油
