Should we begin to manufacture one of the most destructive and infamous substances on the face of the Earth once again? The engineers say yes, but the public says no. The United States stopped making this element with the ban on manufacturing nuclear weapons. But with the continuing problem with our ever-diminishing energy sources, some want us to begin using more nuclear energy and less energy from natural resources. I’m going to discuss what plutonium is, the advantages and disadvantages of its use, and why we should think about restarting our production of this useful element.
