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 [...]

A nuclear reactor is a man made device in which nuclear chain ractors are initiated, controlled, then sustrined at a steady rate. As long as the nuclear reactions are maintained at a steady rate the risk for explosion is realtively small. Unlike a nuclear bomb whose explosion comes from the chain raction, and being uncontrolled [...]

Methanol is also known as wood alcohol, wood naptha, wood spirits, or methyl alcohol. Methanol is a colorless liquid that is highly combustible and volitale if not handled with cauton. Methanol is highly posionous with a extremely disctinc odor that is somewhat milder and sweeter then ethanol.
Methanol at room temperture is a polar liquid that [...]

Biodiesel has many uses and can be used in B100 form, or blended with diesel at any concentration in most modern diesel engines. Biodiesel has different solvent properties then petrodiesel and will degrade natural rubber gaskets and hoses in vehicles. Most vehicles made before 1992 will be most susceptible to these down falls of biodiesel. [...]

Biodiesel is a non-petriluem based diesel fuel that is made by the refinement of vegetable oil. You can use it alone, or blended with conventional petrodiesel in unmodified diesel-engine vehicles. Biodiesel is distinguished from the straight vegetable oil (SVO) or waste vegetable oil (WVO), used vegetable oil (UVO), pure plant oil (PPO), as fuel sources [...]

Oil shale is a fine grained sedimentary rock that contains large amounts of kerogen. With todays technology we can extract hydrocarbons from this kerogen. This process is known as pyrolysis that converts kerogen in oil shale to synthetic crude oil.
The hydrocarbons extracted from the oil shale kerogens is not real efficient for fuel use. Leaving [...]

Non-conventional oil is produced by using techniques other then the traditonal oil well methods.  Non-conventional oil production has a larger impact on the surrounding environment, more then using traditional extraction methods.
Some non-conventional oil production types includes: heavy oil, oil shale, biofuels, thermal depolymerization of organic matter, tar sands, and conversion of coal or natural gas [...]
