As the sun was just a few hours from setting into the waving seagrass, thoughts became gradually amplified as a feared local was anticipated to arrive; the…

However, there are multiple sources that show that, in the end, nuclear is cheaper than solar. One example hits close to home, claiming that "The Vogtle nuclear plants coming online near Atlanta generate a kilowatt of power at half the cost of Crescent Dunes Solar Facility" (Trembath 4). Therefore, it seems very logical to use nuclear because it provides the most effectiveness for the financial cost. Another cost outside of finance is that nuclear power plants are catastrophic if they meltdown,…
