Nuclear energy seems to be one of the better options for producing electricity. There are several benefits to using nuclear fuel. One of the biggest benefits is the energy density that uranium packs. It has millions of times more energy potential that any other resources with the upside of producing zero carbon emissions. Zero carbon emission if caused by the fact that uranium produces energy through nuclear fission, a process in which neutrons break off from one uranium atom and starting a chain reaction. This process allows for high amounts of heat which evaporate water that will eventually turn turbines. Despite its tremendous energy potential, uranium is looked down upon because of its hazardous waste. Radioactive waste takes thousands of years to decay and any accidents can cause a disaster.
Personally, I feel that we should convert to using nuclear energy because their energy potential is simply substantial. There are always risks involved; however, fossil fuels and carbon emissions are causing greenhouse gas effect which we need to reduce. in fact, carbon emission is responsible for more deaths than nuclear energy.
