How many wave power stations are in the UK?

None


Do power stations affect global warming?

Power stations that run on fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) emit carbon dioxide (CO2), a greenhouse gas that is contributing to global warming.Power stations that use renewable energy (solar, wind, hydro, tidal and wave, geothermal etc) have no emissions and have no effect on global warming.


How many wave power stations are there in the UK?

None, but there are one or two experiments going on


How electronics that affects the environment?

Electronics is not affecting environment broadly. it play minor role to affect our environ electronics is very close to friendly. but i can say that the communication which accomplished with the help of EM wave affect human health and environment both. The EM wave affect the brain of Humans . and the frequency is the fact for how much it affect us.


What impact does wave power have on your environment?

well, wave power is a renewable energy source so it is far better for the environment. it doesn't have an impact - it isn'tgreat for the environment but it isn't bad either. therefore referring back tot the question, no, it does NOT have an impact on our precious environment at all.

Why don't all countries use wave power?

There are a number of reasons why no country actually uses much wave power at the moment. The technology is still not fully worked out. Experimental stations do generate power, but not in significant amounts.


Does the frequency or wavelength of the wave affect its speed?

The speed of a wave depends only on the mechanical or electrical characteristics of the medium or environment through which the wave propagates. It doesn't depend on the wave's frequency or wavelength.


What gives us electricity?

Power stations, which can either be coal, gas, nuclear powered. Green power such as wind, wave and solar power can also be harnessed to generate electricity.


How the UK make electricity?

The majority of he UK's electricity is generated by coal or gas-fired power stations. We also use nuclear power, wind and wave generators.


How does it benefit the environment if everyone reduces their energy usage?

Energy (electricity) is largely produced by coal, gas and oil-fired (fossil fuels) power stations, as well as some nuclear power stations. (A smaller amount of "renewable" energy comes from water turbines, wind farms, solar PV panels, geothermal stations and wave energy.) The mining, production and transport of fossil fuels as well as the final burning of them in power stations and vehicles emits carbon dioxide which contributes massively to the collection of greenhouse gases. So everyone who reduces their energy usage is contributing to the fight against global warming and climate change.


Is wave power reliable?

Yes because the tide is a reliable energy source thanks to the gravity of the sun and moon. The major disadvantage is that it is still experimental and the ability to transfer power from these stations to land is difficult.
