Nuclear Power

In the article’’ Nuclear Power is Safe, Clean, Efficient Source of Energy’’, the author states that it is stereotype that nuclear power is not safe. Therefore, he gives some evidences to prove that not only is nuclear power safe; it also has some other advantages. Firstly, the author mentions that nuclear will had became safe and reliable because it had mad steady improvement in the past four decades. Moreover, he also states that nuclear power has also been getting more efficient; furthermore, the economical aspect has became much better because it does not need electricity from coal and electricity from gas- fire. Finally, he claims that nuclear power can supply more power than oil, nature gas, and hydropower; in addition, nuclear power is renewable resource and has no problem of limitation. Actually, the thing that author emphasizes is that we should request to start to use the nuclear power because nuclear power is clean, secure and efficient.It is clear from the article that we should change our stereotype about nuclear power. In the past, we could hear the news that nuclear power was not safe because it had pollution problem such as radiation. However, the author explains the advantages of nuclear power: nuclear is economical to use, it is renewable, and it will not pollute the earth. Therefore, it is essentials for use to develop nuclear power.First, nuclear power is economical to use because it can produce more energy. For example, many countries set up to built nuclear power factories on their own country because they think that it they are too dependent on other countries’ energy is not a-long-term idea. Because if a country is too dependent on other countries’ energy, not only will that country has to pay the price of energy, but that country also has to pay the price of importing. Actually, it is not economical and it is risky plan because they cannot stop using foreign-imported energy. Therefore, building nuclear power is really important because we can save import money; moreover, we do not have to rely other countries’ energy. Indeed, we will not also have problem if the country that supply us with energy has shortage on energy. In spite of the fact that building nuclear power is expensive, if a country are willing to develop nuclear power, not only they can use the energy which supplied by themselves, they also can sale the energy to other countries.Moreover, because nuclear is a renewable resource; it will not run out. We know that our world is too dependent on non-renewable resource, if we always only develop non-renewable resource continually, the earth cannot supply any energy in the future. For instance, it is useful to develop coal and oil, but they are non- renewable resource. Actually, using renewable resource not only can make people feel confident, but also can save the energy on the earth. For example, we only have one earth, and all the non- renewable resources in the earth are limited. If one day all the non- renewable resources are run out, how can human keep living on the earth? Therefore, developing renewable resource such as nuclear power is the best way that we can use the energy forever.Finally, it will not pollute our earth if we develop nuclear power. Many kinds of energy pollute the earth when we develop them such as coal and oil. For example, coal and oil will produce CO2 while we develop them. Also, hydro energy and wind energy will kill fish and birds as we develop them. Moreover, develop biomass will pollute the air the most. However, nuclear power has only few pollution problems because it does not release CO2 and it does not kill the fish and the bird. Indeed, we only have one earth; hence, we cannot ignore environmental problem. Only if we choose to develop nuclear power can we solve the environment problem. In the pest time, many countries do not willing to develop nuclear power due to the fact that nuclear power has radiation problem. However, if we can use high technology to build nuclear power now, it can be believed that nuclear power can be the least pollution energy on the earth.In conclusion, nuclear power is the best energy that we should call for every country’s government to start using it because nuclear power is economic energy. Moreover, nuclear power is renewable resource that we do not have the problem of limitation. Finally, nuclear power will not pollute our earth. I deeply believe that only developing nuclear power can solve our environmental problem. Actually, air pollution, green-house, and climate change are all environmental problems, and if we are willing to develop nuclear power, it is the best answer to our earth.
