Three reasons why we should continue using nuclear energy.

1. Nuclear energy saves lives.

In 2013, a study conducted by NASA found that nuclear energy has prevented around 1 .8 million deaths.

Even if you include the death tolls from Chernobyl and Fukushima, nuclear energy ranks last in death per energy unit produced.

While nuclear waste is really toxic, it's usually stored somewhere while the toxic by -products of fossil fuels are pumped into the air we breathe every day.

So, just by reducing the amount of fossil fuels burned, countless cases of cancer or lung disease and accidents in coal mines have been avoided.

If we can choose between lots of dangerous stuff being put into a deep hole

and lots and lots and lots of dangerous stuff being pumped into the atmosphere, the former seems more logical.

Nuclear energy feels way more dangerous, though.

Single catastrophic events burn into our memory, while coal and oil kill silently.

It's like the death rate of flying versus driving.

Even in the best -case scenario, it would take at least 40 years to switch to 100 % renewable energy.

So, for as long as we continue using fossil fuels, nuclear energy will save way more lives than it destroys.

2. Nuclear energy reduces CO2 emissions

Nuclear energy is arguably way less harmful to the environment in terms of climate change than fossil fuels, our main source of energy.

Since 1976, about 64 gigatons of greenhouse gas emissions have not been pumped out thanks to nuclear energy.

And by the mid -21st century, that could amount to an additional 80 to 240 gigatons.

Humanity's energy consumption is rising steadily.

According to US government projections, China alone will add the equivalent of a new 600 megawatt coal plant every 10 days for the next 10 years.

China already burns 4 billion tons of coal each year.

Coal is cheap, relatively abundant, and easy to get to, so it's not likely that humanity will stop using it soon.

Nuclear energy might be the only way of dampening the effects of climate change and preventing a catastrophic man -made global warming.

Compared to the other things we do, nuclear energy is relatively clean.

So, even if it is a good idea to quit nuclear energy long -term, it might be a good solution for the next hundred years or so, compared to the alternatives.

3. New technologies Maybe technology will solve the problem of nuclear waste and dangerous power plants.

The nuclear reactors we've used so far are mostly outdated technology, because nuclear innovation stopped in the 1970s.

There are models like the thorium reactor that could solve the problem altogether.

Thorium is abundant, really hard to turn into nuclear weapons

and up to two orders of magnitude less wasteful than current nuclear reactors.

The waste material might also be only dangerous for a few hundred years, in contrast to a couple of thousand years.

One ton of thorium is estimated to provide the same amount of energy as 200 tons of uranium

or 3 .5 million tons of coal.

So while we cannot know for sure if alternative nuclear technology will keep its promises,

shouldn't we at least do more research before we forgo an opportunity to solve lots of humanity's current problems?

It might not be an easy challenge, but that hasn't stopped us before.

So, should we use nuclear energy?

There are risks involved in any great human endeavor, and we have to make an informed decision rather than rely on gut feeling.

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법

쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
