NUCLEAR ENERGY

PRO'S

• Power plants don't produce greenhouse gasses or pollutants
• 28 grams of uranium releases as much energy as 100 metric tons of coal
• Fuel is in a larger supply than coal, oil, and gas
• Doesn't need wind or sun, can function almost 24/7
• Not too expensive to maintain

CONS

• Disposal of nuclear waste can be expensive
• Starting and decommissioning of plants are expensive
• Incompetence of staff and designers can lead to disaster

ETHICAL

• Right now, there have been too many accidents
• And too much problems for this to be real ethical
• But in the future, With nuclear fusion
• Earth will have a source of near endless sustainable energy

ECONOMY

• Large production of energy leads to cheaper electricity
• Plants can open jobs for people

HARM SOCIETY

• If an accident happens, it could have a real bad effect
• It helps cause global warming

HELP SOCIETY

• Electricity becomes more available for everyone
• If nuclear fusion is figured out, you could have near indefinite energy

IS IT WORTH THE COST

• If you can figure out the problem of waste and accidents
• Then it would be worth the costs
