NUCLEAR NO THANKS

This is an awful truth behind the use of the nuclear power. Althought the nuclear power provides alot of energy that is essencial for our needs, it can cause huge problems to the society. And we had already been warned with Chernobil's catastrophe and with the World War II tragedy. Over time we started believing we were out of danger but now that it happened again and led to panic one of the more well prepared countries in the world we have to realize how dangerous is to play with nuclear power.
Nuclear power is the worst thing that has been cretated by the men.
Well, in my point of view i think that there is no need for nuclear power plants. Although they provide a lot of energy, the risk involved is very dangerous and i think it isn't worth to take that risk. As it is stated in the post, along the years, accidents involving nuclear power plants caused a lot of prejuize and above all many people died. It's something that we should realize, it isn't worth the risk.

It's true that some accidents have happened with Nuclear power plants. Still, people keep building them and defending their use: nuclear energy provides more power for less money and time than, for instance, hidraulic energy.
But is that the only thing that really counts? What about the human lives that may be taken with a simple accident? Regarding that they say: "What are the chances of something like that to happen? It has happened before but not with that much frequency."
It seems like they won't understand that the risks aren't worth to be taken until they suffer accidents' consequences on their own lives. For example, thousands of people in Japan are now protesting against this kind of energy.
It would be better if everyone listened and thought about it. From my point of view it's better to spend more money than to put the lives of thousands of human beings in risk. Clara Mendes, 10º J
