The question of whether the world would be better off
without nuclear power is a question that deals with multiple issues such as
safety, efficiency, and practicality. Firstly, on the issue of safety the
proposition and the opposition have two distinct views. The proposition
emphasizes the past experiences including the terrible destruction of Fukushima
nuclear power plant that it puts the citizen’s lives to the edge of the cliff.
On the other hand, the opposition believes that it is obvious that new born
nuclear power plants implement modern nuclear technology, and it has developed
rapidly enough to maximize safety and refrain from demonstrating another
Fukushima again. The second issue is the efficiency. The great example is
china, where only 4% of whole demand of electricity is predicted to be supplied
by Nuclear energy in the future. With tremendous investment and such a small
return, the proposition believes the world would be better off using fossil
fuels and rather emit extra 2 billion tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
Lastly, practicality is another issue. The public has a general fear upon
Nuclear Energy, and therefore the government loses its legitimacy to exercise
such policies of constructing extra Nuclear power plants.
