This picture is on a Nuclear power plant.Summary:
For the concern on global warming most of it is from CO2 emmisions. We know that Nuclear power plants do not emmit CO2, but some CO2 arises from the building of the plant and the mining for the Uranium. So in fact when the process of the Nuclear plants is that some CO2 emissions are being produced. Which helps with the factor of global warming. Altough it is not very much CO2 being put out, it still can hurt the enviorment h=and help with global warming. So maybe the power plants are as clean as we thought.
Opinion:
I always thought that Nuclear power plants were clean and gave no harm the the enviorment, which they are. But what goes into them, what they need to make energy cand give off some harms. When they mine for Uranium that gives off CO2 which helps woth global warming. I never knew this and i am a little shocked.
Questions:
1) Do you think we chould be worried about this?
2) Do you think that the CO2 given off is enough to hurt the planet?
3) Should we use more or less Nucklear plants if they are hurting the enviorment but give a good amount of energy?
I left a comment for the Global CCS Institute on their website and hope that they comment. Here it is:
ReplyDeleteHello,
My name is Carlea Stremme and i am a student at Hatboro High School. I am currently enrolled in an Enviromental Science class and was wondering if you would be able to comment on a blog that was started with other classmates of mine. The link located to blog is down below if you decide to respond. Thank you for reading this and I hope you enjoy your day or night(depending on when you read this).

I forgot to attach the link to this so i sent another one with the link.
Delete1. Do you think we should be worried about this?
ReplyDeleteYes i do think we should be worried about this because it is the planet that we have to live on and our kids and even their kids and if we dont start being more cautious of the amount of greenhouse gases we are putting in the air, then it already is/ will become a huge problem.
2.Do you think that the CO2 given off is enough to hurt the planet?
Yes. Think about how many nuclear power plants there are, and how long they have been running. Now think about all of the uranium that has been mined to be put into these power plants. Over time, they have produced a lot of CO2 and greenhouse gases.
3. Should we use more or less nuclear power plants if they are hurting the environment but give a good amount of energy?
Less because there are many other ways of producing energy such as solar, wind, hydroelectric, and many more.
