Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all its dangerous.

The Japanese can tell you that -- twice.

The Russians once in Chernobyl.

The problem with nuclear energy is that if something goes wrong, the stuff is pretty unforgiving. It makes the land where it happens unusable for many years.

It is very dangerous for us if we are near it. Those who dealt with atomic energy at the conclusion of World War II and managed to live, still were candidates for all kinds of cancers -- particular leukemia.

Fish around nuclear plants don't survive well with the increase in water temperatures.

In the United States, many of the nuclear plants are located on the San Andres fault in Southern California between Los Angles and San Diego. Can you imagine what would happen if there was some sort of Nuclear Accident?

Finally what do you do with the waste? That creates all kinds of trouble.
