SHOULD EMBRACE NUCLEAR POWER. I am here to tell you that the worst thing for we could do for Australia is to embrace Nuclear power. First of all‚ if it such a great thing and it’s just the best for the environment‚ why do we have to bury the waste in the middle of nowhere in special super safe containers. Another problem‚ where would we even put these special containers so they don’t harm anything? The problem of radioactive waste is still an unsolved one. The waste from nuclear energy is extremely
