Nuclear Energy

Since the latest earthquake and tsunamis in Japan, much has been discussed about the pros and cons of nuclear energy and whether or not we should make use of nuclear power.

The main reason for considering such use is that it can be the quickest solution to the monster we've been trying to defeat: global warming. This is so because power plants emit a relatively little amount of CO² in the atmosphere; a dream come true.

On the other hand, nuclear waste's extremely dangerous, and it's still an unsolved problem. Not to mention that it's technically impossible to build a plant with 100% security, which means accidents can happen. The consequences of such accidents would be absolutely devastating not only for us, human beings, but also for nature as a whole. Last but not least, plants could be preferred targets for terrorist attacks, which would have catastrophic effects for the entire world.

I'm not gonna ask u if u're for or against the building of nuclear plants and the use of nuclear power. But I'll leave u with an image which, btw, moved me and made me reflect too. Especially when we're aware of the fact that, what happens somewhere reflects somewhere else. And this somewhere else is none other than our entire planet.
