Recommended: Impacts of using fossil fuels to th societies

Audience & Purpose:

The purpose of this flyer was to show a simple friendly informative page that sheds light on nuclear energy. The audience could literally be anyone wanting information on nuclear energy or people who are seeking alternative energy sources. As of late there has been a huge demand to go green. It’s only recently that nuclear power energy has been branded as “green”. This is due to the high level of carbon emission and threat of global warming. The need for a better alternative and long lasting energy source is nuclear. One way to change the minds of individuals and try to seek support from their local and state representatives is to give them the proper information or at least get them thinking about it. I believe this flyer …show more content…

I initially had a bulletin cartoon info graphic that had more information and was maybe more relatable. I however though there was too much text. That’s why I decided to go with the flyer. I wanted the flyer to have a few of themes when it came to organization. The first was a bold title, an attention grabber. The next was the information section. I added a couple quick bullet remarks on why nuclear energy is the way to go, along with the a bar graph showing impact of each energy sources carbon emissions. The pie graph was to show the problem of dependency on fossil fuels. The final part was to show the reader feedback. I wanted to give the reader a survey to show that there is growing support in the nuclear field. A study in psychology called the Asch conformity experiment shows how an individual will yield ones opinions in order to conform to the majority. Since the survey provides a majority of the public in favor of nuclear energy, I thought it would be …show more content…

The text is mixed with white for blue and blue on grey. The contrast between the colors allows the eye to easily follow the texts written. The largest of the text is the title. I wanted to make it really stand out and allow the eye to focus quickly. The broad map of the U.S. is to help accessorize the bulletin points to the left as well as the bulletin to feed off the map itself using the arrows. The texted points are made using Verdana 14pt font.

The bar graph was uploaded using Google images. This was the closes graph I could find that had the right color scheme and great information. Though the white backdrop to the graph does conflict a bit with the grey background. The pie graph with percentage is a clear understanding of the U.S. dependency on fossil fuels. Using the program Venngage I was able to use an excel like program to allow data entry points for the percentage of each section.

The few sections of the flyer is the survey and next to the survey a population example. The use of white text like that of the title, allows the reader to quickly skim over the provided information. The population icon to the left of the survey box is help support the information that is in the survey, allowing great emphasis on the support for nuclear

In “Nuclear Power is Not the Answer,” Helen Caldicott argues that pursuing nuclear energy would be a detriment to the United States. According to Caldicott, nuclear power, contrary to what the industry claims, is not clean and green, but rather a pollutant and a strong contributor to the destruction of the ozone layer. Because of the availability of uranium ore steadily decreasing, the process is requiring more and more fossil fuels to extract the ore. Caldicott projects that within ten to twenty years, nuclear reactors will be counterproductive because of the amount of fossil fuel it will take to mine the remaining uranium. In addition to air pollution, nuclear power plants also emit radioactive gases and materials that have the potential

Over 20 percent of the energy in the United States comes from nuclear energy power plants. (Rinkesh, 2018) They so their best to get as much energy to the country as possible, but there are those out there who don’t agree with them. While there are downsides to nuclear energy, the pros vastly outweigh the cons. Nuclear power plants are a great way to get energy because they don’t let out much pollution, are very efficient, and are very safe.

Nuclear power produces fewer carbon emissions than traditional energy sources because energy is not produced by burning molecules but splitting atoms. ‘An energy mix including nuclear power has the lowest impact on wildlife and Ecosystems’ as shown by a Conservation Biology paper. Consequently, greenhouse gas emissions have reduced by nearly half which shows the benefits and popularity of nuclear power use. Nuclear power has many environmental benefits such as small waste production, leaves no adverse effect on water, land or any habitats. By reducing fossil fuel consumption and switching to Nuclear Energy, we will sustain the environment, quality of air, improving the overall quality of

We're running out of fossil fuels. So we we’re trying to find new ways to make energy without burning nonrenewable fossil fuels. So they've came up with nuclear power plants, which doesn't use nonrenewable fossil fuels. But there are always pros and cons to everything and everyone has different thoughts on if we should build them or not. Some countries already have nuclear power plants but, I think we shouldn't build them in United State for a lot of reasons but there are also some good reasons to build nuclear power plants.

This is evident in Figure … where an equivalent amount of energy is given, the nuclear energy is able to sustain power up to years, where normal fossil fuel can only sustain up to a few days. Although there are debates that the life span of nuclear power sources such as Uranium is low and is comparable to oil, this do not pose a threat as nuclear energy can be recycled. In addition, nuclear power plant only emits hot water into the environment which makes it environmental friendly. In fact, little or almost no carbon dioxide is being released into the atmosphere.

With the effects of global warming, it's easy to see that all countries should be moving toward green energy such as nuclear and increasing this percentage substantially and the U.S. should be leading the rest of the world in this effort. Scientific discoveries in the Manhattan Project also made the U.S. a trailblazer in nuclear energy advancements, and other countries looked to them for guidance in their energy

“Nuclear power will help provide the electricity that our growing economy needs without increasing emissions. This is truly an environmentally responsible source of energy.” Michael Burgess Prior to the introduction of nuclear energy, fossil fuel was thought to be the only available source in producing energy. Although fossil fuel, such as coal, petroleum, and natural gas, contains high energy value, it produces too many harmful byproducts that ultimately pollute our environment. With the rising concerns over global warming as more and more greenhouse gases accumulate in our Earth’s atmosphere, many voice such opinions that new alternative, yet sustainable method must be adopted to produce energy.

Every time we plug a device into a powerpoint usually we do not think about where does that electricity comes from. I used this example to demonstrate that nuclear energy is something everybody should care about because, even if we don't want to, it belongs to our reality and not thinking about an issue will not solve it. Nuclear energy in itself it is not an issue but the consequences of an accident will affect seriously our lives so, since prevention is better than cure, it is better to solve possible issues by limiting the factors that can made them happen. The main objective of this thesis is to make people aware about the nuclear issues in a more detailed

Nuclear energy is something that we`ve all heard about. It carries risk and potential. When an atom (Uranium and Plutonium in nuclear power plants) is bombarded by neutrons, it can be split, causing fission. This fission releases more neutrons, which causes a chain reaction. Nuclear power plants use this use the heat that is created by fission to heat water that spins their turbines (“Nuclear Energy”).
