What kind of energy can be used by humans for a longer time?

Nuclear energy, because coal, oil and natural gas are all fossil energy, is non-renewable.

The utilization of fossil energy such as coal, oil and natural gas has a great impact on human survival, development and progress. After entering the 2 1 century, people pay more attention to the quality of living environment and living space.

The greenhouse effect and acid rain caused by burning a lot of fossil energy have caused serious damage to the living environment of human beings. At the same time, after long-term exploitation, fossil energy resources are increasingly exhausted, which is not enough to support the development of the global economy. In the process of searching for alternative energy, people begin to pay more and more attention to the application of nuclear energy, and the most important application of nuclear energy is nuclear power generation.

Advantages of nuclear energy:

The cost and efficiency advantages of nuclear power generation are more prominent than those of renewable energy generation. In fact, judging from the number of accident deaths per unit power generation, the number of deaths caused by nuclear power is far lower than the loss level caused by air pollution and accidents in coal, oil, natural gas and hydropower production. Moreover, nuclear power is a low-carbon power source with cost competitiveness.

The unit power generation cost of wind power and photovoltaic is still 22%-40% higher than that of nuclear power without considering the additional costs such as intermittence and power grid transformation. In addition, compared with intermittent renewable energy, nuclear energy also has the advantages of high efficiency and stable supply.
