Nuclear energy is better than other energy resources in meeting ever-
increasing needs of the globe. To what extend to you agree or disagree?
People have different views about the role of nuclear power stations in supplying
the energy for the growing demands of the whole world. While I am totally
convinced about the importance of nuclear energy, I am against the
viewpoint/advocate that this source of energy is far advantages than other energy
resources.
On the one hand, I understand why many people prefer building more and more
nuclear power stations to supply the human energy needs. It is clear that nuclear
power is a sustainable energy resource. It can be used to produce electricity
without wasting natural resources such as coal, oil or gas. Moreover, these natural
resources are running out due to the higher demands of humans. As a result, many
people consider nuclear power being a future energy for the advanced
developments of humans. Another reason is that nuclear power stations are
cleaner than fossil fuel power stations. By using the nuclear resource, we can
reduce carbon emissions that cause global warming.
On the other hand, nuclear power has its disadvantages, which make it impossible
to replace totally other energy resources. The most obvious concern is the safety
of building nuclear power stations. Operating nuclear manufactories requires
enormous advanced technologies and strict procedures to ensure no leaking
radioactive material. If a small incident happened, it would cause a tremendous
tragedy. For instance, several years ago, there was a problem occurring in a
nuclear plant in Japan. This incident damaged the lives of thousand people and
surrounding areas. This problem makes people concern of living nearby nuclear
power stations and question about the safety of nuclear resource in comparison
with solar, wind or water power.
In conclusion, although nuclear power plays a significant role, this resource
should be used along with other forms of energy to provide sustainable
developments for humans.
