Scotty, We Need More Power! (WC 228 Rated E)
| With advances in technology and construction, should generating electricity start employing nuclear energy again? Yes, I think nuclear energy can solve our energy problems, replace fossil fuels, and be as safe as any other energy source. However, I don't think very many people would want a reactor powering their SUV's. I also think hydrogen is a wonderful option, but I fear that would go in the same direction as alcohol did. Alcohol burns hot and clean, but how many homes burn alcohol for heat or cooking? It is possible, but it never happened. Why? Simply because producing alcohol uses more energy than alcohol can produce. What about solar and wind? Do some research and look at the carbon footprint created by producing and installing either one. And, that's without considering disposal risks and costs. Is that our future, nuclear fission? No, it may solve some problems now, but it's not the ultimate solution. It gives us time to look into other sources of energy, and hopefully one day, we will have fusion to take its place; who knows, perhaps someone will find an even better energy source in quantum particles or dilithium crystals. If they can power a starship through the universe, they should be able to get us to the liquor store and back. A proud member of "Invalid Item"  "Reading soothes the soul, writing sets it free."

About The Author
My writing doesn't follow any set genre, it's interdependent of my mood and all that's taking place in life. I'm still finding myself, what I write constitutes the markers along the path of that journey. With time, many things will manifest in my work and perhaps I will pursue one or two genres. For now, it's not, "What type of writing is my passion?"
"Writing is my passion."
