When
discussing about clean energy the topic of nuclear power is always brought up.
However, due to past events, people are often skeptic of this power source. If
one would look at the nuclear power plant disasters and their long term damage,
it is easy to say why. In many people’s eyes, there is much more to lose than
to gain with nuclear energy. Take Chernobyl for example. It is said it won’t be
habitable for the next 300 years. With events such as these, it is easy to be
convinced of this negative effect it has.
However,
In my opinion I believe these were mistakes that were made in the learning
stages of nuclear energy. Nowadays, with technologies for advanced and the
lessons from the mistakes, people are more aware and preventative of the
dangers. Ways of properly disposing nuclear waste are being created and the
lessons we learned from the past are being studied and applied. The end result,
a clean, reliable and long-lasting, independent way of powering a nation is a
benefit well worth believing in. I truly believe, that just like in the picture
of the link, nuclear energy can coexist with our natural environment, leading
us away from the oil dependent habits.
