New Nucular Power Plants
On March 28, 1979 a melt down in a nuclear power plant near Harrisburg PA, has scared many people with the idea of building new plants, and Today 104 nuclear power plants power about 20% of the US's electric power. Also Nuclear plants do not release carbon dioxide which makes them a "green" source of energy. These ideas make nuclear power very popular. Despite People's opinions, new nuclear plants are looking to be built across the country.

Although nuclear plants are at times considered dangerous because of its potential threat to the environment, it is important that along with building these new nuclear plants that we also find safer ways to dispose of this waste. Nuclear plants are extremely expensive;however, it is effective in its purpose and helps protect the environment from dangerous gases. Overall, I do think that nuclear plants are a good idea; yet I think we need to make sure that these plants are safe for the environment surrounding them. Nuclear power is a positive source of eneryg and "power" but it is ashame that some use this power to create weapons.
ReplyDeleteNuclear power is considered a "green" source of energy which is good for the environment but can also be bad for the environment because of disposing nuclear waste. A big argument is that nuclear power plants cost a lot of money, which can inefficient but they power 20% of the United States. Even if they cost a large amount of money they probably produce enough power to make that money back and then some if there are plans of making more nuclear power plants.
