Nuclear energy Effects on the environment

​

      Nuclear energy can replace fossil fuels but has certain environmental effects. It is a clean energy source compared to Co2 producing plants. It has some good effects, but also  some bad effects. Some of these effects include radiation, nuclear waste, nuclear accidents, and land needed to build more nuclear power plants. An extremely good advantage is it would effect the people and environment less because it doesn’t produce Co2.



Nuclear Energy's Economic Effects



Nuclear energy is a powerful alternative energy, but has some effects the focus in this passage is the effects of nuclear energy on the economy. 1 good is that nuclear energy produces can produce a lot of electricity and did you know that The U.S’s largest electricity source is currently nuclear energy. A bad economic effect is that nuclear energy plants are one of the most expensive plants to build, because of the equipment. A good effect of nuclear energy is if it is used more often we may not have to depend on the Middle East for fossil fuels. Also we would need to get the uranium which may cost money, but all and all nuclear energy would be a better alternative!
