Chapter 7.10, Problem 7.33SC

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The production of electricity from wind and nuclear energy has to be compared.

Concept Introduction:

The major share of electricity consumed by the world is obtained through nuclear power plants. Even though nuclear power plants are clean energy sources, the disposal of hazardous radioactive waste produced by these plants are difficult. So people are seeking for alternative sources which are less dangerous and highly efficient. Wind plant can be considered as a promising source for electricity, because it has less health and environmental effects. Wind power is one of the fastest growing energy sources in the world.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The risk associated with constructing wind turbine has to be listed.
