Hi folks,
The links I supplied for homework 5 will give you some idea of pros and cons of nuclear power, but they are far from exhaustive! Here are the four originally suggested links:
Wall Street Journal overview of the pros and cons
Greenpeace website and fact sheet on nuclear power (against nuclear power)
Wired Magazine interview with Greenpeace founder Patrick Moore (pro nuclear power)
Union of Concerned Scientists critique of a "nuclear renaissance" (against nuclear power)
You can find lots of sources for information (and opinions, and misinformation) on the web. With anything you find, pay some attention to the agendas of the authors! Here are a few other interesting recent articles I found that touch on some of the pro-con issues.
Christian Science Monitor article on the status of the nuclear waste question in the U.S.
CNN editorial arguing that nuclear power plants need to be made more secure
New York Times article that addresses the importing and exporting of nuclear technology as nuclear power plants become more widespread
Washington Post (Reuters) article on an increase in public support for nuclear power
An Anti-Nuclear opinion piece on a blog
