Question
the waste from which type of power plant produces the least amount of greenhouse gases?
○ a coal power plant
○ a gas power plant
○ a nuclear power plant
○ an oil power plant
Coal, gas, and oil power plants burn fossil fuels, releasing significant greenhouse gases (like CO₂) during combustion. Nuclear power plants generate energy through nuclear fission, which does not involve burning fossil fuels and thus produces far less greenhouse gas emissions from their waste - related processes (the main waste is radioactive, not greenhouse - gas - emitting in the same way as fossil - fuel - based plants).
