To a large extent‚ I agree that the nuclear power is an unsustainable energy resource. Environmentally‚ water for cooling process of the nuclear plants is released into the sea. This causes thermal pollution and reduces water quality. Moreover‚ the radioactive wastes in the nuclear plants will release radioactive substances and contaminate the surrounding areas. Even if the waste is buried underground‚ there may be leakage‚ polluting the underground water and soil. Serious damage is done to the

we mean by sustainable energy? Sustainable energy is about using energy wisely and using energy generated from clean sources and clean technologies. Wise energy use is the first step to ensuring we have sustainable energy for present and future generations. Being efficient with our energy will reduce our household and business energy bills‚ reduce the amount of energy we need to produce in the first place and cut energy related greenhouse pollution. So sustainable energy is not just

Advantages of Nuclear Energy? Clean Energy Nuclear energy has the ability to produce electricity without greenhouse gas emissions. It produces electricity without pollution. It is cleaner than many other forms of energy production. Essentially‚ nuclear power would be “carbon-zero” if the uranium were mined and transported in a more efficient way. High Quantities Nuclear reaction releases a million times more energy‚ as compared to hydro or wind energy. Large quantity of energy is generated from a single

Solar energy is argued to be the most sustainable type of energy there is‚ but some argue that it isn’t actually as sustainable as others would like to believe. The reason for this is‚ like with the wind energy‚ manufacturing the solar panels has some reports call ‘environmental downsides’. However‚ it is also considered to be one of the most sustainable energy types because it has two forms – light and heat‚ both of which are important to us and the wildlife surrounding us. Plants need the light

people‚ the word sustainable is an adjective that means the activity the word describes can continue forever. For example‚ since biblical days‚ farmers practiced sustainable agriculture by leaving their fields fallow every seventh year. In early America‚ farmers knew that for agriculture to be sustainable‚ the same crop could not be planted in the same field year after year. Sustainable agriculture has always been practiced by successful farmers. Farmers who didn’t practice sustainable agriculture inevitably
