Nuclear power is the use of nuclear reactions that release energy to generate heat, which most frequently is then used in steam turbines to produce electricity in a nuclear power station. Nuclear power in Germany accounted for 17.7% of national electricity supply in 2011, compared to 22.4% in 2010. Proponents argue that nuclear energy is now safe and emits much less carbon emissions than coal plants. Opponents argue that recent nuclear disasters in Japan prove that nuclear power is far from safe.
@96DHBKL2yrs2Y
Yes, but invest in more modern, cleaner and safer solutions instead of using old technology
Yes, Nuclear energy is the future
@99TMJVX1yr1Y
Yes, but only for investment into fusion and not fission; nonetheless, I prefer other options.
@99LZNH31yr1Y
Yes, nuclear energy is much cleaner than coal. In general we need to ensure safety and public health over private profits, which was the problem in Fukushima and is currently a problem in coal mining.
Yes, but only in plants that reuse nuclear reactive waste or other reactive materials like thorium.
@997GDHY1yr1Y
Yes, we should properly fund and nationalize Nuclear energy
@95WV7S2Free Voters2yrs2Y
Yes, especially the usage of fusion, so while using current nuclear energy, we should invest in renewable alternatives as well as nuclear fusion.
@8ZGD4YL2yrs2Y
Yes to Fusion. No to Fission.
@8VP2NTX3yrs3Y
I don’t have enough knowledge about this subject to answer
@9CF73X710mos10MO
No we should use coal, oil, and gas until we can make hydrogen fuel or a new alternative better. The clean energy sources pollute more than coal and gas.
@973P3ZD1yr1Y
Yes, but if it only militarily reason.
@96LR9RKFree Voters2yrs2Y
It's complicated only if there is a save way of using it wich isn't there yet so technically no.
@8VLYQGN3yrs3Y
I support fusion reactors
@8V6XYSB3yrs3Y
Yes, and have it all be privatized
@8QGGW5X3yrs3Y
Not nuclear fission, but it's important to keep researching on the topic of nuclear fusion
@93W7FD72yrs2Y
Yes, but with extreme precautions.
@JoshDaHooman2yrs2Y
Yes, as well as investing in other clean energy alternatives such as wind, hydroelectric, thorium, and geothermal.
@924MYCK2yrs2Y
Yes, but with more oversight and rigorous adherence to safety procedures to prevent accidents and to ensure safety of citizens. However, renewable energy sources (i.e. wind, solar, geothermal, hydropower, etc.) should be prioritized first.
@9375CJZ2yrs2Y
I don't support the use of nuclear energy but I support the research of nuclear energy
@9347VY42yrs2Y
In what way? For weaponry? Not really
@9334YP32yrs2Y
Yes, in principal, just as soon as we figure out safer ways of disposing of the nuclear waste that it produces. Until then, we should increase investment into fossil fuels.
@92YX7Z92yrs2Y
Yes, but the govt. should invest and require safe and clean ways of disposal with minimal environmental damage.
@92XHX9V2yrs2Y
depends on what the energy is being used to produce
@92SYXM92yrs2Y
yes but at a remote area
@8ZK5HYT2yrs2Y
Yes, let the free market determine the best energy sources
@928JWTG2yrs2Y
Only if the plants do everything in their power to stablize it and keep enemies away from them(could be used for nuke)
@8ZSR5NL2yrs2Y
Yes, with more oversight and rigorous adherence to safety procedures (i.e. proper knowledge of how to dispose waste safely) to prevent accidents and to ensure safety of citizens. However, renewable energy sources (i.e. wind, solar, geothermal, hydropower, etc.) should be prioritized first.

It is unhealthy for the environment and citizens and can cause long lasting negative affects.
Deleted2yrs2Y
Yes, but with more oversight and rigorous adherence to safety procedures and with proper knowledge of how to dispose waste safely to prevent accidents and to ensure safety of citizens, while we increase investment into cleaner, renewable energy sources.
Deleted2yrs2Y
Yes, but with more oversight and rigorous adherence to safety procedures along with proper knowledge of how to dispose waste safely to prevent accidents and to ensure safety of citizens, while we invest more into renewable energy sources.
Deleted2yrs2Y
Yes, but with more oversight and rigorous adherence to safety procedures along with proper knowledge of how to dispose waste safely to prevent accidents and to ensure safety of citizens, while we invest more into cleaner, renewable energy resources.
@8ZGPKM92yrs2Y
yes because it could come to extreme and we could get damaged and destroyed by other nuclear weaponized areas
@8ZGPKQP2yrs2Y
If someone like another state is using nukes for bad reasons and another state helps by using nukes to them? then yes.
@RickStewart2yrs2Y
I support the free market deciding what kind of energy is created and at what cost. If there is pollution involved, the government should tax it, in order that no one be exposed to it without just compensation.
@8Z659VG2yrs2Y
Yes, if the right person uses it
Deleted2yrs2Y
Yes, but with more oversight and rigorous adherence to safety procedures to prevent accidents and to ensure safety of citizens, and with proper knowledge of how to dispose waste safely, while we invest more into renewable energy resources.
@8YVYRGZ2yrs2Y
i do but i also think that it could be bad for us just in case it ever were to not work
Deleted2yrs2Y
Yes, but more oversight and rigorous following of safety procedures is needed to avoid accidents and to ensure safety of citizens so long as it can be guaranteed as safe and the waste is safely disposed.
@8YKV6MS2yrs2Y
Yes, as long as it contained within a safe environment so that it doesn't harm people, or the environment.
@6VWJ8PP2yrs2Y
yes but also hydroelectric, thorium, and geothermal
@8XTPN882yrs2Y
@8XHNZZH2yrs2Y
Honestly i do and i dont
@8XGHN4X2yrs2Y
Not a subject I pay attention to
@8XBRMPX2yrs2Y
Yes, but it should be away from people so they wont be effected by the nuclear reactions.
@8X92W7Q2yrs2Y
yes, I think it is OK but toward the future try to shift to a more environmentally sustainable option
@8X8VVZ22yrs2Y
i like it, but it should be used farther away from population
@tasibuttel2yrs2Y
Yes, as long as it is safe for our environment
@8WVKG572yrs2Y
In circumstances where the plant isnt relying on things like water, solar, or wind energy
@8WRKRDY2yrs2Y
I'm nervous of the risks, but still open to the idea.
