1) Nuclear power generation does emit relatively low amounts of carbon dioxide (CO2). The emissions of green house gases and therefore the contribution of nuclear power plants to global warming is therefore relatively little. Between mining the uranium, refining and enriching fuel, and finally to building and operating the plant, a big 1,250 250-megawatt nuclear facility produces an estimated 250,000 tons of carbon dioxide during its lifetime. In contrast, coal-fired plants produce close to 2

Three Mile Island Nuclear Power Plant should not shut down. The plant has produced energy for us for the past 49 years. Nuclear energy has been providing efficient energy for our everyday use. Without this plant, regular needs will not be met and people will suffer living their lives. This plant uses our third most used energy source, nuclear energy. To begin, our most used renewable resources are coal. The coal in this world will eventually run out, so when we do run out we can always use nuclear

burning fossil fuels like coal, oil, we would face tremendous problems. Not just the resources might run out, but we would also face pollution, and green-house effects. Failure to develop a new technology that would produce enough clean power, would be devastating result. So when we are trying to find a new technology, why don’t we use a way we already have? I propose nuclear energy, because it will produce clean energy, and it also is more effective than wind or solar power. Conclussion Nuclear
