### power:

Nuclear power
* Most nuclear power generates energy
  - is generated by fission
  - provides electricity
  - uses energy
* can be dangerous and produces radioactive wastes that persist for thousands of years
  - contribute significantly to reducing emissions of greenhouse gases
  - help India grow on a larger scale
  - produce electricity, large amounts of it
* clean and sustainable source of energy.
* clean, safe and reliable source of energy.
* comes from splitting uranium or plutonium atoms
  - the radioactive ore uranium
* continues to create environmental and safety threats throughout Europe and the world.
* contributes nothing to global warming and replaces fossil-fueled plants that do.
* controversial issue in some parts of the United States.
* crazy way of producing energy.
* creates neither carbon dioxide, nitrous oxides, sulfur oxides nor methane.
* depends on a chain reaction to make heat.
* dirty technology which contaminates everything it contacts.
* emits gases
* generates a lot of electricity in countries like France, and also in Finland
  - high level radioactive wastes that remain hazardous for thousands of years
* generating plants and nuclear warheads both depend on the physics of fission.
* good way to eliminate greenhouse gas emissions.
* good, clean energy source.
* harnesses the heat of radioactive materials to produce steam for power generation.
* has a role to play in reducing greenhouse gases
  - applications
  - one of the smallest carbon footprints of any energy source
  - potential for a wide spectrum of uses
  - the additional advantage of being a partially self-sufficient source of energy
* is also a concern for safety and disposal reasons
  - key to space exploration
  - the world's most dangerous business
* is an important and growing source of energy for the world
  - element in the German energy mix
  - another popular energy source in some parts of the world
* is at a standstill in Western Europe and North America
  - many parts of the world, particularly in the North
  - available commercially
* is better than solar power because it is no more harmful to the environment
  - it produces more energy for less cost
* is cheap, safe and clean
  - less polluting than other power sources
  - cleaner than fossil fuel burning plants, but the byproduct is nuclear waste
  - considered by many to be the ideal power source
  - discredited because of highly toxic waste products
  - economical in Ontario because the province has significant uranium resources
  - either through fusion or through fission
  - highly polluting
  - in decline in the United States
  - nuclear energy
* is one example of an alternative energy resource
  - of the cleanest, safest, most efficient forms of power there is
* is one of the most efficient forms of energy it is also very cost efficient
  - environmentally friendly sources of energy
  - represented in the seal by the sun
* is the most environmentally benign way of producing electricity on a large scale
  - unsafe, untested and risky way to generate electricity
  - safest, cleanest and potentially the cheapest source of electric power
  - use of sustained nuclear fission to generate heat and electricity
* is used all over the world
  - as a major energy source in most industrialized countries
  - extensively and is safe and clean
  - very expensive and complicated, but provides reliable, efficient power
  - viewed as an option to consumption of physical resources
  - vital to the energy mix of the U.S. and the world
* makes a significant contribution to meeting the world's demand for electricity
  - up less than a quarter of production and natural gas about half of that
* means a low pollutant source of electrical energy.
* offers a viable option for producing electricity without greenhouse gas emissions
  - the promise of cheap electricity, but it can also be used to produce weapons
* plants the world over are dangerous to the surrounding areas.
* plays a critical role in the United States energy supply.
* poses an unacceptable threat to humans and the environment
  - serious threats to the environment as well as human and animal health
* produces both hazardous and radioactive waste
  - electric power without emitting any greenhouse gases
  - electricity in highly- centralized plants
  - energy without emitting greenhouse gases
  - intense radiation that is deadly to human beings and other life
* product of the development of nuclear weapons during the second world war.
* releases almost no gaseous componants
  - no noxious gases
* requires heavy shielding to keep the neutrons away from people - too heavy for cars
  - the installation of complex and expensive safety systems
* saves fossil fuel.
* seeks to harness that energy to safely provide electricity.
  - the energy created by controlled nuclear reactions to produce electricity
* very expensive source of energy.
* vital component in the engine that drives the American economy.
* world security risk adding to the threat of nuclear proliferation.
