Nuclear power is any nuclear technology that can produce extractable energy sources and uses. Most the time this nuclear reaction is taken out in a controlled and sustainable environment called “Nuclear Reactors“.
The most commonly used method for nuclear energy today is fission, other methods like fussion, and radioactive decay also exisit today. All current methods involve heating a working fluid such as water, which is then converted into mechanical work for the purpose of generating propulsion. Today more then 15% of the worlds electricity comes from nuclear power.

Natural gas is a gaseious fossil fuel consisiting primarily of methane and including amounts of ethane, propane, butane and pentane. Natural gas is also discussed under the “Geothermal Energy” article.
Natural gas can be found in oil fields, dissolved or isolaed natural gas fields, and in coal beds. When methane rich gases are produced by the decay of non-fossil organic material, they are referred to as biogas. Biogas can be found in swamps, marshes, and landfills, sewage sludge and manure by using anaerobic digesters and enteric fermentation in cattle.
