Nuclear Power 3
Across the world, the demand for electricity is rising, requiring a method be found to satisfy it. Energy conservation techniques will not be sufficient to keep demand down. Another method, building new power plants, will soon need to be implemented. Some of these needed power plants will create pollution which can damage the environment; the only way to minimize the pollution is to choose the right power plant. Conventional power sources, such as coal, are known for the pollution they create. Newly available sources, like solar power, are currently not feasible to completely supply the new demand. Nuclear power seems like the only practical alternative; however, there is much argument over safety issues and the question of what to do about nuclear waste. Nuclear power is a highly controversial topic. It has its advantages and disadvantages, and unless a more viable alternative is discovered, it may never be resolved. The demand for power has been increasing for some time, evidenced by the fact that electricity sales increased 32% from 1982 to 1992 (Bayne 48). Demand continues to grow, and will increase an estimated 4 fold in 50 years according to the Electric Power Research Institute (Reynolds 6). These increases come from two so
