All of people around the world face global warming on a daily basic. One of the main reasons for this problem is people use too much fossil fuel. One solution for this issue is use nuclear power. There are many different opinions about nuclear power. This essay will discuss the pros and cons of nuclear power. There are two main ideas in support of nuclear power. One argument is nuclear power reduce greenhouse gas emission. Like solar energy, wind power, nuclear power is a clear way to produce energy as it does not result in the emission of any of the greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide, sulphide dioxide or nitrogen dioxide. When pollution of the atmosphere is one of the main worries, this choice is better than burning fossil fuel which causes so much of pollution. Another argument in favour of nuclear power is that the source of nuclear power is uranium. This is inexpensive and abundant. Therefore, the source of nuclear power is available and probably virtually inexhaustible. In contrast, there are strong arguments against nuclear power. The first argument is that the safety of nuclear power plants. Many accidents have occurred when using nuclear power. This is likely due to a core meltdown. Accidents such as a Chernobyl serve as reminder of how dangerous nuclear power can be. Although breeder reactors can be used to produce energy with nuclear fuels other than the conventional uranium-235, they are very expensive and slow. In other word, although breeder reactors produce usable energy, the time it would take for fuel production to even out with consumption could be many decades. Furthermore, only a few breeder reactors are in use across the world. In summary, there are arguments both for and against nuclear power. Some are of view that nuclear power reduces greenhouse gas emission and the source of this cheap and abundant, Some other view that they are not safe and low viability. People can use another green energy because it safer than nuclear power.
