Question

What advantage does nuclear power have over the burning of fossil fuels?

(this was under my social studies study guide)

Answer 1

The biggest advantage of nuclear power is that it provides energy without greenhouse gas emissions (that contribute so dramatically to global warming). Fossil fuels burning releases a lot of greenhouse gases in the air

Additionally, currently fossil fuels are burnt up a lot faster than we can replenish them: this leads to a potential shortage, a problem that is not found in the case of nuclear power.
