There are many was to get energy, one of the ways are Nuclear Energy. Nuclear energy is bad for the environment but can never run out and it supplies 19% of our energy in homes. When you hear Nuclear energy you immediately think of bombs, the thing is if the reactor core over heats it will explode.I think that Nuclear energy is bad for the environment and is also very dangerous.
I bet you are thinking "I don't even know how Nuclear energy works!". Nuclear energy starts with water flowing to the reactor core which is made up of a bundle of radioactive Uranium. This uranium is very hot and the water is there to cool it down. The water gets heated into steam and floats up and turns the turbine that makes the energy. Then the turbine creates the energy and then the energy is moved on power lines to homes and other buildings all over.
The consequences are the radiation poisoning and mutations. If you have radiation poisoning you die slowly and it can't be stopped. Then if a child is exposed at an early age then they could grow up and have deformed legs or arms or some other body part. Another consequence is global warming. The power plant will dump tons of smoke and other waste out and into our environment.
I think that global warming is not the way to go I think that it would be better if we just stuck with solar wind and other Eco-friendly energies. If we go to nuclear global warming will be more of a problem than ever before.
