NUCLEAR POWER
Nuclear energy is
commonly offered as an alternative to overcome the crisis of energy. The debate
of whether the use of nuclear energy is an appropriate choice has not come to
an end. Some people agree with the utilization of it because of its risk to the
environment.
Those who agree
with the operation of nuclear reactors usually argue that nuclear energy is the
only feasible choice to answer the ever increasing energy needs. In their opinion, the other sources of energy oil,
coal, and liquid natural gas are not renewable and safe, while nuclear energy
can be sustainably when produced in a safe way.
However, people
who disagree with the use of nuclear energy point out that the waste of nuclear
products can completely destroy the environment and human lives. A meltdown in
reactor, for example, usually results in the contamination of the surrounding
soil and water. Take for example, the blow up of the nuclear reactor at the
Chernobyl nuclear power station in Russia twenty years ago. The serious
contamination imperiled people and the environment severely.
It is obvious that
nuclear energy should be avoided because it really endangers the environment
but what about a less polluted energy instead of nuclear energy? Are there any
alternative energies to overcome the crisis of energy?
