75% of France's electricity was from nuclear power, the highest percentage in the world. 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. 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.

The tech behind nuclear energy is outdated and would be safer if we used well known, newer alternatives. We stick to highly waste-producing techniques due to how they happen to be the same ones that make the materials needed to make bombs. I would frankly support more the cleaner alternatives, which produce waste no more radioactive than the natural stuff.
@8ZP3C722yrs2Y
Yes, but we should invest in new reactor types that are more efficient and make disasters near-impossible.
@8YRSP2X2yrs2Y
Yes, but we should make it safer by using new types of reactors
