A Case for Nuclear Energy

The modern state of electricity production is deadly, both for the planet and human biology. Therefore, we ought to pursue other methods of electricity production that carry less harm. Nuclear energy is, simply put, the best option. While it suffers from a checkered past, lack of public understanding, and a seemingly everlasting cognitive bias against it, as we carefully compare it to other energy sources, it comes out on top. Nuclear energy is safer than almost every other energy source, and it provides large amounts of consistent, sustainable energy for electricity production. Furthermore, logistical factors such as cost and construction time are hardly insurmountable issues, especially when reminding ourselves of the strengths of nuclear energy. Nuclear energy cannot combat climate change alone, but it provides a solid piece of the puzzle. The outlook on a nuclear future is bright, and even now, there are promising developing technologies that provide even more refined versions of nuclear energy. Hopefully, a nuclear future will come soon.
