10/6/2010 Is It Time to Revive Nuclear Power? Twenty years ago‚ the worst nuclear plant accident in the nation occurred at the Three Mile Island plant. The nuclear industry has been waging a coordinated campaign to revive nuclear power in the United States. We are being told that nuclear energy is safe‚ clean (the answer to global warming) and an economical way to produce electricity. None of these claims withstand scrutiny. It is well known that nuclear power production creates the deadliest

of the disastrous nuclear accident in Fukushima‚ Japan last year‚ the crisis of a nuclear accident and its consequences has once again become a hotly discussed issue. A nuclear accident is defined by the International Atomic Energy Agency (2008) as "an event that has led to significant consequences to people‚ the environment or the facility. Examples include lethal effects to individuals‚ large radioactivity release to the environment‚ or reactor core melt." The causes of a nuclear accident mainly

Dillon G. Nuclear Energy vs. Conventional Petroleum Energy Through out the history of the United states the main source of energy has been conventional Oil‚ Coal‚ and gas energy‚ or better known as Conventional petroleum energy. However as the demand for electricity sky rockets the pollution produced from the traditional fossil fuel burning plants is reaching dangerous levels. Gas‚ coal and oil burning power plants are as of now responsible for half of America’s air pollution (tripod/online)

becoming? Business is triumphing over our own safety and health. The thought of climate change being nonexistent is blasphemous. Carbon emission from the burning of fossil fuels has cased climate change‚ but that’s not the point. Our main source of energy has been the burning of fossil fuels‚ which is a nonrenewable source of energy. Fossil fuels will not last forever‚ once it’s gone what will we use? Out of desperately‚ many have suggested nuclear power. Nuclear fission create heat by introducing a uranium
