Nuclear power is the use of nuclear reactions that release energy to generate heat, which most frequently is then used in steam turbines to produce electricity in a nuclear power station. In the U.S. 100 nuclear reactors provide 20% of the country's energy. Proponents argue that nuclear energy is now safe and emits much less carbon emissions than coal plants. Opponents argue that recent nuclear disasters in Japan prove that nuclear power is far from safe.

@8QVX8SK4yrs4Y
I don't really care for it
@9TNPFPR8mos8MO
I support the use of nuclear energy although I would prefer we try and use cleaner alternatives such as wind or hydroelectric.
@9FG363TRepublican2yrs2Y
yes as long as it isn't killing the world and as long as it isn't near anyone
@958DNJ23yrs3Y
Yes, it is the most efficient form of energy production that still remains very clean relative to petroleum.
@957P2453yrs3Y
if it used for the right reasons, yes
@8YYC4KW3yrs3Y
@8YRTC4C3yrs3Y
it depends, because it can be dangerous
Personally i have not done enough research to be for or against it, but if it negatively impacts the Earth we live on then i feel like it should be abolished for long term safety.
@8YP4N563yrs3Y
@8VZS46W4yrs4Y
we should keep using it but look for other ways as well
@8VNNMNL4yrs4Y
No because we could use better energy to keep our environment as clean as possible.
@8VGGX4Q4yrs4Y
Yes, but the safety of the people around it need to be ensured.
@8V6F8MZLibertarian4yrs4Y
Yes but heavily regulated!!
@8MRPR6N5yrs5Y
I don't mind, but under specific circumstances.
@8MRNNPV5yrs5Y
yes if the other nation is threatening us with nuclear power
@8MPGFW65yrs5Y
when its for the better of the conrty yes.
@8KRMVWN5yrs5Y
Yes, as long as it is safe for everything and possibly everyone around it.
@8JHZMCM5yrs5Y
Yes, But far away from the public.
@8JHRLKT5yrs5Y
I like how we are using nuclear energy as an energy source rather a weapon, but Id rather people used cleaner alternatives that are eco-friendly
@8HRB37BRepublican5yrs5Y
Yes, to only be used by scientists and the government.
@8HHQ2JNRepublican5yrs5Y
Yes, as long as it's necessary and if it's the last resort
@99PRGC52yrs2Y
I don't understand nuclear energy.
@9925VHB2yrs2Y
@926BPRJ3yrs3Y
Bro, Just invest in thorium
@8KVFYBV5yrs5Y
Yes, as long as it is safe and will cause no harm to the environment and our citizens.
@9F85FGM2yrs2Y
@9F6QCXT2yrs2Y
not to educated on the subject.
@B2RS74X4mos4MO
Yes, when it is not a danger to the public, but we should invest as soon as possible in other green energy sources.
