Opening and Closing statement:
Opening statement:
During this age we have had to worry less about diseases and more about energy. In this century we are hungry for energy and why wouldn't we be. I couldn't imagine not being able to turn on my lights at night and not having a fridge to keep my food in. Right now we are very coal dependent in order to provide this energy because it is abundant, reliable, cheap, and produces a good amount of energy compared to other materials. Coal, though it does produce a good amount of energy when burned, doesn't even compare to how much energy nuclear power plants produces. Pound for pound uranium provides 16,000 times more power than power coal. This means that in a smaller space you can produce way more energy. Even after the energy used to mine and enrich the uranium, it produces enough to still be more beneficial than coal. One nuclear power plant can power over 101,000 households in america. This energy, may i add, being accessible the entire time, whether night or day. unlike renewable energy plants that only work when the wind is going or the sun is out. With americas hunger for energy renewablee energy would mean extreme changes that citizens are not prepared for this is why the government should have incentives for new building of nuclear power planets. WE could reduce this crisis of energy we currently have in a clean, safe, and dependable way.
Closing statement.
While nuclear power does have some downsides. It produces large amounts of energy with using minimal space. The government should provide incentives for construction of nuclear power including the four corners area so we can move towards a more powerful energy source.
