conclusion. Energy experts have forecasted that if policies remain unchanged, world energy demands will increase by 50% between now and 2030. Considering the rapidly depleting supply of coal and oil, a viable long-term replacement must be established to compensate for this substantial gap. Nuclear power is the future way forward. The reasons are manifold. Firstly, nuclear energy has the greatest potential…

Americans, and the rest of the world, should switch to nuclear power because it produces great amounts of energy with little to no waste, is constantly available and reusable, and nuclear energy is safe. Nuclear energy provides great amounts of energy with very little amounts of nuclear material. In the documentary “Pandora’s Promise” Leonard Koch(died on the fifteenth of may in 2015) said that “one pound of uranium, which is about the size of my fingertip, would produce the same amount of…

When you hear Nuclear, what do you think? Does it have a negative connotation? Well if you are like most people, it does have a negative connotation? When people think about nuclear energy they think about Chernobyl or Fukushima. Heck when people hear Nuclear they think about weapons of mass destruction. People write off nuclear energy because its not safe, not cost effective, and not needed. But rather than make a coherent gut feeling we must come to a better informed decision about nuclear…

Nuclear. What was the first thing that came to mind when you read the word nuclear, nuclear missiles, radiation, everything bad in this world? I bet you didn't think of a revolutionary power source that could help some of the world's problems like Power, Carbon emissions, Clean water, Jobs and local economy. Nuclear power is a very controversial topic, Both sides have very strong opinions and evidence to prove that nuclear power will save or destroy the world.Nuclear power plants and nuclear…

Nuclear power, we have all heard of it. Or most of us have, nuclear power is created by nuclear fission (“Nuclear Power for the 21sr Century”). The process of uranium isotopes in a controlled environment being split. As you know any action takes energy and when energy is being used or changed a by-product is made. In most cases it is thermal energy, which is heat energy. That is exactly what is happening in a nuclear power plant. When one uranium isotope is split a chain reaction is created in…

When people hear the word nuclear, most will think of complete destruction and radiation poisoning. These people are partially correct; the first public appearance of nuclear technology was the Atomic Bomb at the tail end of World War Two, ending the war with its annihilating capabilities (Nash). Since 1945, this technology has been harnessed by scientists and engineers globally, especially in America. Through advancing the medical field, upgrading industry in the country, and by ensuring…

Have you ever been watching T.V. and just wondered where the energy that was powering the television was coming from, or how it was made? Well that power source is called nuclear power and many people do not think about nuclear power, or just not pay any attention to nuclear power, but nuclear power is one of the most useful thing to have been discovered. It powers so much. Without nuclear power you would not have electricity to charge Iphones and laptops. With nuclear power we do so much with…

was once green and full of nature. In a few centuries, technology and human development swiftly influenced our dependence on fossil fuels. Massive consumption of oil, coal, and gas drastically transformed our settlements into powerhouses for further progression. We now have electricity for lighting, gasoline for transportation, and coal for power sources. However, fossil fuels are being consumed at a rate faster than we can recover. The only possible key is to achieve a more balanced energy mix…

Today our world is powered by many new sources like wind using the air currents, solar harvesting the sunlight, or geothermal manipulating the water, and many more as well. Even though we have all these power sources most of them are location oriented so most of our energy is created by two sources fossil fuels (coal, natural gas, and petroleum) and nuclear. Coal and natural gas make up most of our energy, but why am I telling you this it’s because coal energy is a giant now but it is slowly…

Every year our planet comes into contact with multiple large scale pollution disasters which continue to lead us to our inevitable demise if we don’t change something. Right now, our lives are fueled mostly by Coal, and Oil which create large disasters. Pollutants from these disasters flood into our oceans killing millions of fish, and other sea creatures. The pollutants also get into our air which cause smog in many cities, which can lead to death amongst thousands of small children. The time…
