Nuclear Energy - In Light of Fossil Fuel Depletion and Global Warming is it Time We Reconsider it
Print This Article Ezine Publisher Send To Friends Add To Favorites Post A Comment Suggest Topic Report Author

Nuclear energy does not directly necessarily equate to bombings and casualties. Although it might seem highly technical , nuclear energy or any type of energy results from a series of reactions, consequently transforming matter to energy. The most notable form of energy at present is the sun. The sun's energy is basically noted to be boundless and endless when seen from the perspective of a human lifetime. It can be projected that around 16% of the electricity on earth came from nuclear energy.

Prior to discussing anything about this form of energy, it is important to be aware first of the advantages it gives. As it was mentioned previously, the earth has an abundance of nuclear fuel. Other energy sources like oil deposits and coal may be on the point of depletion but nuclear sourced energy has a much longer projected lifespan. Another advantage linked with this type of energy is that it is affordable and free. Nuclear Fission in essence also makes use of the sun. Power plants can generate more electricity with the use of this type of energy without having to consume much fossil fuel and other energy sources. Nuclear derived energy is not harmful to the environment in the same way as fossil fuels that release toxic substances as by products.

Along with advantages also come the disadvantages. This type of energy is the foundation of nuclear weapons which are considered to be those dreaded weapons that can be used for mass destruction. For instance, two powerful countries, the United States and Russia, have nuclear weapons within the bounds of their territories. These Weapons are considered dangerous particularly because of radiation. Radiation can cause cell damage as well as death to those who are exposed to it. So as to settle these kinds of issue, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) lately passed a law concerning the peaceful use of nuclear energy. The law is in accordance with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in support of the execution of Peaceful Nuclear Energy Programs. In essence, nuclear energy is heavily dependent on how people will use it.
