I think we should keep TMI(Three Mile Island) because the positives outweigh the cons. In my opinion, keeping TMI would be a good idea because of the amount of energy it can produce. If they closed TMI then a lot of people would lose their jobs. TMI produces emission free energy unlike coal or other fuels. If TMI closes, then Pennsylvania's main source of energy would be coal or propane which is very bad for the air.
Nuclear power has many positives to using them over any other type of power. An example of this is a reliable energy source because it can operate 24/7 for 18-24 months and it stops so the workers can refuel it. Another reason is this type of power does not release anything into the air and helps fight global warming because the power plants have avoided 64 billion metric tons of greenhouse gases. There's only been three major accidents produces less radioactive material than coal plants. Those are just some of the reasons why it is better than other types of power.
Fossil fuels are less efficient and more harmful to the air than nuclear power. There are many reasons why we should stop using coal, one reason is it is one of the essential factors that enhance global warming by releasing more greenhouse gases and carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere. Another reason is they are inefficient old and economically …show more content…
Fossil fuels like coal are what enhance global warming while using nuclear energy helps block it by not releasing harmful emissions such as carbon dioxide into the air. While nuclear energy has only had three major accidents in its entire history, fossil fuels has beared ten major accidents in the past 25 years. Coal is not nearly as reliable as nuclear energy because nuclear energy can run 24/7 for 18-24 months without refueling. In summary, Fossil fuels are less reliable, are the core factors for enhancing global warming, and has had a greater amount then accidents than nuclear has
