Persuasive Essay On Three Mile Island

Decent Essays
Three mile island is a very important nuclear generating station. We depend on this resource for electricity, electricity is highly important to us because we use it for everything.The government is considering shutting it down, because it hasn't been profitable for the past five years! My opinion is the government shouldn't shut down TMI because, They are actually benefiting from it because it gives the state $1.1million a year for property taxes. If we continue to have it open then we can build more schools and make us a better society.

Did you know that Three mile island is currently donating more than $300,000 annually to the fire department, library and other agencies!! Do you know how much we benefit from that? With these donations we are able to provide new books,fire equipment,computers, other electronics, and so much more!! If you were to take TMI away we wouldn't be able to have these things.

There are so many people that depend on having this job to support their families, pay their bills and any other expense. TMI also includes health insurance for people on the job which really comes in handy if they are in need of medical attention.

By having TMI produce our energy we have Lower carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere, and we have cleaner energy!! Cleaner environments will help the animals habitats, the air we breathe, it also helps save the earth for more generations to come.

In conclusion, i agree with the people to not shut down Three Mile Island. We have more benefits than disadvantages. Therefore if you decide to shut TMi down us as a community will go downhill, we will have a hard time adjusting to the change, the building will still be there for many years until you figure out something to do with it, so why not just spare all the drama and time it would take to shut it down and let us be the way we are used

    Sometimes, in sports or in life in general, there are favorites and underdogs. There is a general consensus that the favorite team or player will win but sometimes it`s the underdog that wins and receives all the honor related with that win. This is very similar to what I read about Seabiscuit and what I watched in the video of Jason McElwain. Some people have the ability to transcend their underdog status (ie. Red from Seabiscuit and Jason) and create something very special.…

    To begin, the only reason why we created this power plant was to make our lives easier. In my opinion, this power plant only makes our lives more stressful. This is because there is always a fear in the back of my mind that something catastrophic could happen to Three Mile Island. Once before, there has been an accident that involved radiation exposure at Three Mile Island specifically. Because of this exposure, Three Mile Island has a bad reputation with the public as being a dangerous power plant.…

    The Yucca Mountain Project Nuclear waste is a problem that plagues the United States due to dilemmas surrounding its handling. A scientific consensus shows that the best way to get rid of nuclear waste is through geological disposal, however, this method creates several barriers. Geological disposal includes storing nuclear waste in an underground repository site in hopes of it being contained without the need of surveillance for thousands of years. Due to the fact that nuclear waste contains high levels of radioactivity, the search for a repository site has been very challenging. For decades, the Department of Energy (DOE) has scouted for a location to discard the hazardous waste and has come to believe that Yucca Mountain is the best solution.…

    Small Town America I grew up in the small town of Natchez, Mississippi spending Friday nights on the football field and Saturdays and Sundays in the woods.

    Would you really enjoy a dystopia in which nuclear leaks that cause animals to have mutations, And children born with defects, are frequent? How about an energy system that also provides an ineffective economy and more frequent terrorist attacks? Those could possibly be the results of a switch back to Nuclear energy.

My arguments against this are that it is very dangerous, it is expensive, and there are much better options.…
