The Advantages of Nuclear Energy.doc

TinaLit.1 Professor Maegan Kearns 17 November 2013 The Advantages of Nuclear Energy Nowadays, nuclear energy has become part and parcel in China’s energy area and with the development of science and technology, nuclear technology has been applied to people’s life in different ways. Nuclear technology is the best solution to China’s energy shortage that currently depends on the environmentally harmful use of coal. If human being makes best use of nuclear technology, the world will become wonderful in the future. We have inexhaustible electricity and not only the lights but also all the electric appliances are on forever. We have various kinds of cheap transportations made by nuclear, which enables us to go wherever we want quickly. The earth is covered with healthy gas. Machines are functioning all the time. Luckily, all these benefits are given by nuclear technology. So, nuclear technology is a rear jewel. Nuclear energy is the world’s largest source of emission-free energy and using nuclear has best advantages of forming an enormous environmental effect, developing economy and sustainable development in China. The usage of nuclear energy facilitates have an enormous environmental effect. First of all, using nuclear energy has a lower greenhouse gas emission. Greenhouse gas has a negative effect on environment and too much leads to greenhouse effect and global warming. Fortunately, after using nuclear energy, the emission of the greenhouse gas has reduced by nearly half in the recent decade. Secondly, there is almost no air pollution by using nuclear energy. The burning of fossil fuels and coals leads to production of carbon dioxide and smoke. It is a menace to the environment as well as human life. Production of nuclear energy does not emit smoke; hence, there is no direction air pollution. Finally, nuclear plants provide people environmental benefits. According to the research, 86 percent people believed that nuclear plants are so environmentally benign
