    The document argues that nuclear energy could help address growing energy demands while significantly reducing carbon emissions. It notes that nuclear reactors use much less land than solar farms and are over 98% efficient compared to 32% for wind and 24% for solar. The document acknowledges that past nuclear meltdowns were largely due to human error rather than issues with the technology itself and that light water reactors have built-in safety features.

    Nuclear Energy

    ● Human demand for


    energy will surpass
    current production
    by 2020 — we
    need a better
    option
    ● If the US switched
    to nuclear energy
    we could cut CO2
    production by
    some 90%+
    ● Nuclear reactors
    use a mere three
    percent of the land
    that solar farms do.

    ● Almost every nuclear meltdown has been due to human error, not the
    fault of the technology
    ● Light Water Reactors — the most common type of nuclear reactor—
    has built in fail safes

    Nuclear Energy
    is 98% efficient,
    compare that to
    wind at 32%
    and solar at
    24%
