Persuasive Essay On Nuclear Energy

853 Words4 Pages
Over the years in my life, I’ve noticed that the biggest questions that are asked often start with the term, “why.” We as human beings like to ponder the reality of life that we face and then focus on finding the answer to that question. Today, I have that same feeling about something: nuclear energy. I’ve often wondered why people feared its mechanics. I’ve often wondered the positive impact it may have on the environment if used properly. I’ve often wondered what benefits humanity could uncover with the application of this technology. Today, however, I plan on ceasing to ask questions so that I can instead answer them for myself. On the counts of recent news, national leaders have gathered in Sweden, such as our president, and have discussed the energy crisis caused by fossil fuels, which not only are resources to be completely depleted within this century, but also are causing atmospheric damage threatening our way of life. I believe that perhaps the answer to this dilemma lies within a forgotten power source such as nuclear energy. If my theory truly is false, at least what I'll be getting out of it is knowing that I'm less ignorant of the topic, which is always a positive thing for knowledge-seekers.
