True or false?

A windmill converts the chemical energy of the wind to nuclear energy at a wind power plant.



When coal is burned, the chemical energy in the coal is converted to heat energy.

Answer 1

Answer: Well, the part of the coal is completely right...

Just the way we still use the power of water with dams.

False! When a windmill spins, it is converting the wind energy and converting it into nuclear energy at a wind power plant. True! When coal is burned, the chemical energy in the coal is converted to heat energy.
