Thermal power plants use coal. As there are large coal reserves on earth, the price of coal is relatively cheap. In addition, the cost of building a thermal power plant is lower than that of a hydroelectric power station of the same power, because a thermal power plant only needs to build furnaces, exhaust installations, production units, coal transportation facilities, etc., and it is safer to build these components, while building a hydropower plant is safer. Before the power station is built, it is necessary to intercept the river and use countless steels and cements to build a reservoir on the river so that water power can be used. to drive the generator. Thermal power production is not affected by climate, while hydropower production is affected by climate. However, theCoal is not renewable after being burned and the energy utilization rate is very low. Only less than a third of the energy is used and two thirds of the energy becomes waste heat. the river rose several degrees. The fish and shrimps are dead. Additionally, the exhaust gases emitted from power plants also pollute the environment.
