discussion iconDiscussion: The Safety of Nuclear Energy20 points

What do you think? Does nuclear power make sense? Or is it just too risky? Have you changed your opinion of it during the course of this lesson? Most scientists believe that the days of using nuclear power are numbered. Some even say that arguments about whether or not it is better than fossil fuels are false arguments because we should just focus all resources on developing renewable sources of energy like wind power. Other say nuclear power is our best option for meeting our growing energy needs in the days of growing human population and growing concerns over pollution from fossil fuels.
