my opinion about the Wylfa nuclear power station issue. It is quite a controversial topic and I hope that you will listen to all I have to say. This map shows Cemaes Bay in Anglesey‚ Wales‚ which is the location of the Wylfa power plant. The current Wylfa power plant is due to shut down in 2014‚ but nuclear regulators have signed an agreement for plans to build new reactors in North Wales. This is the start of Horizon Nuclear Power’s proposals for a new nuclear power station at Wylfa on Anglesey

re-grown‚ regenerated‚ or reused on a scale which can sustain its consumption rate. These resources often exist in a fixed amount‚ or are consumed much faster than nature can recreate them. Fossil fuel (such as coal‚ petroleum and natural gas) and nuclear power are examples. In contrast‚ resources such as timber (when harvested sustainably) or metals (which can be recycled) are considered renewable resources Fossil fuel [pic] [pic] A temporary oil drilling rig in Western Australia Further information:

Talk by Michael Shellenberger titled‚ "How fear of nuclear power is hurting the environment". The title seemed self-explanatory to what message he was conveying the short video. In more depth‚ he talked about different energy‚ for example‚ solar and wind‚ and how they are becoming apparent in our everyday lives. Statistics showed how Germany receives half of their energy from solar and how India is slowly rising to meet that concept. As well as nuclear energy is making a rise but it does not have as

To protect the environment from the adverse effects of pollution‚ many nations worldwide have enacted legislation to regulate various types of pollution as well as to mitigate the adverse effects of pollution. Prevention of Acid rain is very important for the future of our environment. Since acid rain is caused mainly by the emission of sulphur dioxide from coal-fired power plants. There

Red Eléctrica de España is the company that owns almost the entire energy high voltage transportation grid. The main suppliers for the country’s energy are Iberdrola‚ Endesa‚ Unión Fenosa‚ Hidrocantábrico and E.ON. Nuclear Energy Currently in Spain there are up to 8 nuclear reactors being exploited

or not we should increasingly rely on nuclear power and make it our No1 source of energy given endless concerns about its safety and expensive cost. Undoubtedly‚ in a world of increasing population‚ diminishing natural resources and worsening climate change‚ nuclear energy is considered the key future energy resolution. In favor of greater reliance on nuclear energy‚ Mark Lynas – a climate-science author strongly brought in the reasons of: 1st‚ nuclear power avoiding climate change while fossil fuels

Persuasive Paper Part 1: “A Problem Exists” Should the U.S. build more nuclear power plants for an energy source? The nuclear power plant history in United State is detailed by U.S.NRC (United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission)‚ where it says: [In] 1957 – Shipping port Atomic Power Station construction is completed at a cost of $72‚500‚000. The country’s first large-scale civilian atomic power plant started generating electricity for commercial use on December
