Nuclear energy is safer than fossil fuel energy in the way that a significantly higher number of deaths are caused by fossil fuels such as coal. The few accidents that have occurred were mainly due to negligence and natural disasters. If more interest is taken into nuclear energy, safer technology will also increase. Making it a public subsidy will also make more people be involved in it and more open to it due to it being more cost effective as more in este ente are made into it.

Nuclear Energy may be somewhat cleaner than using immediate fossil fuels, but still requires fossil fuels to complete the process and is not a sustainable way to conserve energy and make a switch to renewable energy sources. We need to make bigger steps to use more sustainable energy sources that will help us more than hurt us in the long run.

“Nuclear Energy may be somewhat cleaner than using immediate fossil fuels, but still requires fossil fuels to complete the process and is not a sustainable way to conserve energy”
The amount used by Nuclear plants is less than what's consumed by fossil fuel-based power generation. Once a nuclear plant is operational, it can run for many years, even decades, producing a huge amount of energy without burning any fossil fuels.
A good example is France, which generates about 75% of its electricity from nuclear energy and has one of the lowest carbon emissions in the world.
I do understand the concerns about the sustainability of nuclear energy, given the finite supply of uranium and the issue of nuclear waste disposal.
@9GC2M4Q6mos6MO
Nuclear energy has its negative effects, if you look at the Chernobyl incident that was pretty catastrophic and there are much safer alternatives such as solar energy and other renewable energy sources
Chernobyl and Fukushima have raised valid concerns about nuclear energy, it is important to note that these were caused by aged technology and human error. Modern nuclear energy plants have numerous safety measures in place to prevent such disasters. Also, while solar energy is a great source of renewable energy, it is not yet capable of providing the amount of power that nuclear energy can. The Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station in Arizona generates more than 30 times the power of the largest solar farm in the United States.

I think that the nuclear energy shouldn’t be used that much because it’s quite dangerous and if it gets spreader around the nature than it would be a big pollutant.
@9FLHMVSIndependent7mos7MO
If we get into a nuclear war, the earth will at least be much worse than what global warming has done, it would all go downhill so fast, the air would become toxic, humanity, animals, plants, everything has a strong chance of dying, we would be leaving the planet a mess. And there would be a similar outcome if something like Chernobyl happened everywhere, even at different times, it wouldn't be fun for anyone
@9G7RLPM6mos6MO
Its important that we ensure energy security, and the way to do this is to use the public sector to supplement private development, that way we can ensure the fastest, best regulated, and safest implementation
@9G5ZLFNIndependent6mos6MO
Nuclear energy is really common and is a great source of energy with low carbon emissions especially compared to coal and fossil fuels. Nuclear plants have had problems in the past and for that reason they should be hidden from the public and strictly held up to regulation
@9F7NDTG7mos7MO
The people of a country hve completley different views on Nuclear Energy than the government does. Therefore, the people may not agree about the use of nuclear energy.
@9CJ6CB67mos7MO
And plenty of the US doesn't agree with our views of oil, but we still seem to have agovernment scrambling to make pipelines all the time.
@9GVK7G36mos6MO
Nuclear is expensive plain and simple. extra funding would be required to get it into widespread use and increase research at national laboratories.
@9LQNC852 days2D
not only would government aid be very helpful, but Government supervision would be majorly beneficial to the public as well as safety.
@9F7LK7S8mos8MO
The government shouldn't be trying to coerce people into using a different energy type. Although I still support Nuclear Energy.
@9F6P3FX8mos8MO
The use of nuclear energy can be used for many things than just nukes but if you are in a situation where America is at war, it's either you or a country that wants to kill you and I think that changes how a lot of people would think.
@9F7Q3V87mos7MO
Nuclear energy isn't always bad the best form of energy we can obtain is nuclear energy but if we are talking about U.S. against another country I choose us
