Nuclear power is the use of nuclear reactions that release energy to generate heat, which most frequently is then used in steam turbines to produce electricity in a nuclear power station. About 15% of Canada's electricity comes from nuclear power, with 19 reactors mostly in Ontario providing 13.5 GWe of power capacity. Proponents argue that nuclear energy is now safe and emits much less carbon emissions than coal plants. Opponents argue that recent nuclear disasters in Japan prove that nuclear power is far from safe.

@heatherdvdprincess5yrs5Y
Yes, measures have been taken so it is now one of the safest sources of energy.
@8CNT65N5yrs5Y
Yes, but only after enough research so it can be done in the safest way.
@8CV6FZ55yrs5Y
Ask the people who will be using the power in question.

4th Generation Nuclear power will propel the US to the top of the greenest, cleanest, and safest energy production country. We need a state of the art upgrade to our energy infrastructure and 4th Generation Nuclear power is the wave of the future. Wind and Solar are inefficient, costly, and the materials used to create the panels and blades are hazardous to the environment. 4th Gen Nuclear has little to no waste, can run for 25 years without having to be refueled, and are self-contained so there is no risk of a Chernobyl or Fukushima like crisis. In addition, they can be built to a micro-form factor reducing the footprint of the plant. There is no need for massive superstructures that were previously built in the mid-1900s.
@8KH79S24yrs4Y
No I do not because radioactive waist can be harmful for humans.
@8LFCCLB4yrs4Y
don't have an opinion for this
@8PRKY7Q4yrs4Y
Yes, but not near civilization or on good land. Probably in the desert would be better
@8WRCDH63yrs3Y
It’s useful but has to be done right
@8YVYRGZ3yrs3Y
i do but i also think that it could be bad for us just in case it ever were to not work
@92SYXM93yrs3Y
yes but at a remote area
