Nuclear energy… Boon or Bane ? Nuclear energy? Nowadays these two words are always sticking on the society’s mouth‚ but do they know the actual meaning of it? Nuclear energy is basically defined as the energy released by the reaction within the nuclei‚ as in nuclear fission or fusion. The core reason of using nuclear energy is to generate electric power to satisfy human needs. Usage of the nuclear power plant as an energy generator came together with several boons and banes. As quoted by the

Renewable energy is energy from natural resources such as sunlight‚ wind‚ rain‚ tides‚ and geothermal heat‚ these resources are naturally replenished. Renewable energy does not harm the environment or deplete any of our natural resources like fossil fuel. Renewable energy is not subject to sharp price changes because it comes from natural resources. Biomass is currently the largest U.S. renewable energy source with more than two hundred existing bio power plants providing energy for one point five
