In a world where by 2050, energy needs will triple, all energy sources are needed, especially clean ones (Gale 184). A “typical nuclear power plant produces 1,000 megawatts, or 1 billion watts, of energy”, which is great for the current and upcoming energy needs (Gale 193). With over 430 commercial power plants in 31 different countries, Nuclear energy already accounts for 15% of the world’s total electricity produced (Nuclear Energy;…
Alcohol can cause pancreatic and liver disease, including alcoholic hepatitis and cirrhosis. “Heavy drinking is linked to higher rates of many cancers, including cancer of the mouth, pharynx, larynx, and esophagus.” (Gale, 2015).
