Nuclear Power

      Nuclear power is energy which is produced with the use of controlled nuclear reaction. Some people favor nuclear reaction. Some people favor nuclear power because the energy is considered cleaner than fossil fuels. While, others oppose to nuclear power because it is unsafe and expensive. Many people take these topics very serious and will sometimes fight for what they believe in. fighting for what you believe is not wrong, I think it is great, but there also has to be caution because sometimes people get carried away.
      Three reasons for being in favor of nuclear power is climate change, potential (nuclear fusion would, potentially, solve all of our energy needs, and nuclear power plants require much less land area than comparable output wind or solar power sites. These reasons come from websites such as “debatingeurope.eu and clearpictureonline.com”, written by people who want their voice to be heard. Three reasons in opposition of nuclear is that it is unsafe and expensive, nuclear waste are an unresolved problem and in nuclear power stations can also use its purification plants to make weapons. These reasons come from websites such as “debatingeurope.eu, world-nuclear.org, and truth-out.org”
       Nuclear power is dangerous because not only is it bad for us humans but it is also bad for the plants. In the article the truth about nuclear power it says, “ when the day comes that the electricity from solar or nuclear power plants is worth more than the costs associated with generating it.” This means that nuclear power uses electricity but it is very expensive and too much to handle.
