...actors produce electricity by the fission of uranium, not the burning of fossil fuels, not emitting sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, particulate soot, or greenhouse gases. Not only does nuclear energy not emit any pollutants, it is causing the average of pollutants that are let into the air to decline. Another major concern for the environment is what to do with the waste of a nuclear plant. It is in this area that causes people to feel that nuclear power is unsafe for the environment. The fact is that the waste is radioactive for thousands of years and if not disposed of properly could destroy the environment. The nuclear industry is the only industry established since the industrial revolution that has managed and accounted for all of its waste; preventing adverse impacts on the environment. What worry people is that the waste is radioactive. Nuclear Power is not the cancer causing threat that the majority of the population thinks that it is. The burning of coal is more cancerous then nuclear power, and coal burning releases more radiation than nuclear power. Not only is nuclear power more nature friendly, but more human friendly. The U.S. needs a non-polluting form of energy that can supply the mass of people and they have it. Nuclear power is not an enemy and should be considered for use in the future. The abundance of coal could be in turn used to finance nuclear power. Nuclear power is the logical choice with the environment as the conc...
