So removing coal isn’t an option, at least not without a gradual process and well thought out plan. Even then, coal mining creates jobs. Over 174,000 jobs are created by coal in the United States, and this number does not include jobs that are indirectly made possible which is in the tens of thousands. This information can be found on Sourcewatch’s article titled “Coal and Jobs in the United States”. And with the addition of scrubbers making coal a very clean process, why should we remove it? Coal should neither grow nor shrink, it provides a large chuck of the nation’s power, but overexpansion could inflate coal prices and damage the environment despite scrubbers.

Because it’s very profitable, these power plants can produce energy for a very cheap price. These power plants on average produce about 3 times more profits than their initial cost. On top of that, it creates good paying jobs for nuclear engineers for an annual wage of $102,950 on average according to Department of Labor. On top of this, nuclear reactors are only refueled about once every 18 months, and uranium consist of only 30% of the operating cost. Meaning that nuclear energy prices are far less volatile and therefor are very consistent unlike many of its …show more content…
And how neutrons that can break chemical bonds in your body are captured by special screening that are placed inside the reactor contain special nuclei to prevent the spread of harmful neutrons. The truth is, nuclear reactors do not output harmful death-rays over hundreds of miles that slowly kill you, as anti-nuclear groups make it seem. As well, he proves there is no possible way for the reactor to produce enough energy to cause a nuclear explosion even if every one of the many safety systems
