Can someone just give me one more argument?

anonymous · Answer

what are your two arguments?

anonymous · Answer

Sorry actually I have just one argument but I have it's safer and is the most effective renewable source ... Is that one ok?

anonymous · Answer

it can definitely satisfy a significant portion of the energy needs, but it's not safe--the spent fuel rods take tens of thousands of years before their radioactivity drops to an acceptable level, according to current standards anyway. this looks like a tough question.

In my lesson it talks about advantages and disadvantages of nuclear energy. Do you think the advantages could probably work as arguments?

anonymous · Answer

well, i just remembered one: no greenhouse gas (or other air pollutant) emission, unless you count the transportation and disposal of fuels. I would verify this claim with a gen-chem book though.

anonymous · Answer

oh it does talk about that in my lesson and I have a chem book but to be honest it doesn't help at all and also I take an online class so no one is actually there to help me haha

anonymous · Answer

you are online, why don't you yahoo "advantages of nuclear power" and see what people say? it's very difficult to justify nuclear power in my opinion...the biggest headache is how to deal with the spent fuel rods.
