Nuclear Power as a Solution for Global Warming Crisis

Have you ever worried about dying from nuclear energy? Nuclear power is when nuclear energy is used to generate heat or electricity. Nuclear energy has been an extremely controversial topic, as to if and when it should be used. The government has been making drastic decisions as to if it should be used. There have been many debates as to how nuclear energy/power can be used to stop global warming as well as how it should be you stop global warming. The use of nuclear energy by the government is a bad idea because it will have a major negative impact on your health as well as have a major negative impact on finances.

Nuclear energy should not be used because of the negative impacts on physical health. For example, according to “Nuclear Energy Is Not a Solution for Global Warming”, written by Alan Robock it states, “ the risk of catastrophic nuclear accidents has been drastically underestimated. Nuclear reactors are built, operated, and regulated by humans, and humans make mistakes. Accidents can happen not just from meltdowns but from earthquakes, tsunamis, and aircraft accidents ”. This quote expresses how humans create man-made accidents that have happened to them. Normally they would unintentionally be hurting themselves or others around them. Having people work on nuclear energy is physically hazardous as well as if a natural disaster occurred everyone would be in high-risk danger. Another example is in “Should Nuclear Power be Part of New York's Clean Energy Mix, as State Fights Climate Change?” written by Chris Bolt and it states, “ he expressed concerns about all the ways produced in nuclear power plants: “ you will have low and medium level radioactive waste from the metals that are near the reaction chamber now sometimes those waste put into poor communities. And we don't have a concern with high-level radioactive waste storage, which is still an issue and they're still not a good solution”. This quote expresses how professionals than to put in all the radioactive stuff that they use in poor communities, they could even put it in the oceans in which we swim as well as how the ways that are put into poor communities have their health at stake at absolutely no choice.

Nuclear energy also should not be used by the government to rid issues because it will have an extremely large impact on finances. For example in Nuclear Energy Is Not a Solution for Global Warming”, written by Alan Robock it states, “ not it's not McQueen viable. Nuclear power is extremely expensive. It could not even exist in the US without huge government subsidies, including insurance against accidents”. This shows how nuclear energy is expensive to come on and the government will have an extremely hard time affording it. As well as the drastic increase in money demand from insurance companies from all of the accidents caused by nuclear energy. Another example is in, “Nuclear Power Needs to Double to Curb Global Warming” written by Bobby Magill which states, “ another Viewpoint came from Jessica Azulay from Alliance for a green economy. She is concerned about the finances of nuclear, which is more expensive than traditional energy sources. She argues that helping people to “ change their light bulbs, change their efficient refrigerators, weatherize their homes… will give people a lower energy bill in a more affordable home”. The show of cool from an expert in which is about another way in which the government can save money rather than use nuclear energy which will cost them more. She showed a way to help people by giving a professional point of view as well as giving a way the government can save money.

On the other hand, people would think nuclear power should be used because although it will have an impact on the physical rather what they think more important is mental health. For example in “Should Nuclear Power be Part of New York's Clean Energy Mix, as State Fights Climate Change?” written by Chris Bolt states, “ ‘ the United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation has said there's no discernible increase in the incidence of radiation-related health effects expected among exposed members of the public or their descendants. The most important health effect is mental and social well-being and stress, which is exacerbated formation by radiation and its effects”. Kids show that even though your physical health may be affected by nuclear energy, your mental health is much more important because of what you are taught and hypnotized in a way to think that nuclear energy will hurt you. Although, this quote expresses that mental health is more important, once you get sick your mental health is going to be much worse than it already is. For example in “ The Nuclear accidents damage Human Health” written by Debora Mackenzie for its states, “ radiation exposure above a certain threshold, usually only received by workers an emergency team and a striped can plants, causes acute radiation syndrome with hours of exposure. Depending on the dose of radiation this ranges from skin rashes, and diarrhea, to coma and death”. This quote contradicts the statement of how nuclear energy affects your physical health worse because would you rather be scared of having nuclear energy kill you or have it in reality actually kill you. Radiation from nuclear plants has caused many deaths and many skin diseases.

In conclusion, The use of nuclear energy to fight global warming is a bad idea because it will have a major negative impact on your health as well as have a major negative impact on finances. Nuclear energy is extremely controversial and many experts argue from a different points of view. Nuclear energy has not only been controversial amongst the people but the government as well.
