katherine:

@Allison @tigerlover

Allison:

Nuclear power is like used by Earth's minerals and oils right?

katherine:

Right,.

katherine:

So what could be the answer?

tigerlover:

Solar power is good because it doesn't use any low resources but because it only works on sunny days it is less efficient. Nuclear power is stronger but uses up more resources and lets out bad greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide

Allison:

Solar power~ Cost: It's power from the sun, which we have for over 10 hours a day. Although it's from the sun, it costs us about $25,000-$35,000, per 5 kW. Nuclear power~ Cost: Nuclear power doesn't only cost us, but costs Earth since it's using the elements that take over a million years to develop. It costs us about $9 billion per unit.

katherine:
