It's evident that temperature is rising which as a result causes us to experience a lot of abnormal climate changes worldwide. The cause of this increase of temperature is the greenhouse effect. The greenhouse effect is constructed by water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane and ozone.The greenhouse effect is when the gasses trap the sunlight, not making them bounce back to space, which creates the atmosphere to warm, thus making Earth hotter. What’s responsible for realising a large amount of carbon dioxide is the burning of fossils fuels. The Chevron Richmond refinery is known to burn fossil fuels to generate energy throughout Richmond, Ca. Since the Chevron Richmond refinery burns a lot of fossil fuels, it releases a lot of carbon dioxide.

The Nuclear power has a lot of benefits, especially towards the environment. For example, in Document A, it states that “nuclear power production releases no pollutants into the air.” Meaning that while the nuclear power plant is giving out energy for us, it’s not harming the environment. This is important because since it's not releasing any air pollutants, then its not releasing any greenhouse gasses, the earth’s temperature is going to decrease. It's a win win for both the humanity and Earth. Some people who live in Richmond don’t want to agree on constructing a nuclear power plant because of they are frightened that it’s going to explode and cause a lot of damage. In March 1979, an accident occur in The Three Mile Island nuclear power plant in Pennsylvania which allowed a small leakage of radiation surround the atmosphere. Many people would fear that it can harm their health, but in Document A it states that “the leak had no demonstrable effect on the health of anyone at the plant or in the surrounding area.” In other words, the small leakage didn't put anyones health and the environments’ in danger. By this, we know that building a nuclear power has more pros than cons, and that there is nothing to worry about. We had used fossil fuels for many years and that had made us in serious trouble, so might as well use the nuclear power plant to try to fix our mistake before it’s too late. Despite
