Why choose Nuclear?

Do you want a world with a source clean electricity that has no emmissions? You're in luck! There is a source of electricity known as Nuclear power. It sounds cool doesn't it? Nuclear power is made by splitting atoms which makes heat 600 degree heat. They put that heat under a giant pot of water. The water quickly turns to steam, the steam is then put in turbo-generators that turn the steam into electricity for us to use.   Nuclear power comes from a radioactive element called uranium. Uranium can be found in underground deposites in places like; Canada, Australia, West Africa and Kazakhstan. Did you know nuclear power releases less green house gasses than other forms of energy, such as fossil fuel? Another good thing about Nuclear energy is it doesn't need as much space per unit of energy produced than, for example, a wind farm would. Nuclear energy can effectivly meet our energy needs and it has a very low safety risk. Canada currantly has eighteen operating Nuclear power plants and is a leading developer in nuclear expertise. It is also a relatively clean energy source, and the waste it does produce is safely taken care of. Say yes, choose nuclear.
