Renewable energy originates from natural sources that replenish more quickly than they are utilized off. It includes wind energy, solar energy, Hydropower.

Advantages of Nuclear energy

Nuclear power plants that generate carbon-free electricity don't emit any air pollution or carbon dioxide while they're operating.

Smaller physical footprint; Nuclear energy plants use much less physical space than other conventional clean energy facilities, including wind and solar power.

high output of power

reliable source of energy

 

Disadvantages of Nuclear Energy

Current nuclear technology depends on uranium ore, which is found in small quantities in the earth's crust.

Although maintaining a nuclear power station is very inexpensive, the initial cost of construction is high.

Nuclear waste

 

Impact of fossil fuel on environment

Fossil fuel combustion emits greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, which trap heat and cause climate change. The ocean absorbs at least 25 percent of the carbon dioxide released by fossil fuels, altering the ocean's chemistry (pH). Because of the increasing acidity, marine species have a great difficulty developing their shells and coral skeletons. Burning fossil fuels is causing climate change, which is causing increasingly frequent and severe extreme weather occurrences that result in disasters. Glaciers and land-based ice sheets are melting as a result of oceanic and atmospheric warming caused by climate change. Hazardous air pollutants such as sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, particulate matter, carbon monoxide, and mercury are all produced by burning fossil fuels, and they are all harmful to the environment and people's health. Over 99 percent of plastics are created using fossil fuels, which causes plastic pollution.The extraction, movement, and refinement of fossil fuels can result in oil spills that hurt local residents and wildlife, degrade habitats

    Hello, this is your mentor Minkyung.

    You well explained the pros and cons of nuclear energy. Because nuclear energy was proposed as one of the substitutes for fossil fuels, it would be better if you explained the adverse impacts of fossil fuels on the environment first and then introduced nuclear energy. Also, it seems that your report is focused mainly on nuclear energy. So, in your first paragraph, please mention that nuclear energy is an example of renewable energy and then start elaborating on the pros and cons of nuclear energy in detail.

    Thank you for your report, and keep up the work :)

    Hi, Dolma Diki Sherpa!
    This is your mentor, Yoon.

    You did well in describing the pros and cons of nuclear energy, and why fossil fuels are not a sustainable energy source.

    Your report would be even better if you could provide more contents on each points you made in the article.

    Nice job on writing the thematic report.
    I am looking forward to reading your following report!
