1. use alternative energy sources 2. manage nuclear energy production wisely (lower cost, meet safety standards and reduce radioactive waste)

1. The total fuel costs of a nuclear power plant are typically about a third of those for a coal-fired plant. 2. And only a quarter of the total cost for a gas-combined cycle plant. 3. In Spain the nuclear electricity cost was reduced by 29% over 1995-2001. 4. Uranium is a highly concentrated source of energy which is easily and cheaply transportable. 5. The quantities needed for Uranium are very much less than for coal or oil. 6. One kilogram of natural uranium will be used for about 20,000 times as much energy as the same amount of coal. 7. Financing costs are additional, adding typically around 30% 8. Recovered Uranium and Plutonium can be preprocessed. 9. Their operations and maintenance and fuel costs are, along with hydropower plants, at the low end of the spectrum and make them very suitable as base-load power suppliers. 10. If nuclear electricity generation was doubled the cost would on rise 9%, while coal would rise 31% and gas would rise 66%! 11. The capital cost of nuclear energy is what makes it seem so expensive, the Uranium cost and operations and maintenance are very cheap. 12. Cut back on financing costs, as well as the capital cost. 13. There is an abundance of Uranium. 14. Uranium is not very expensive and will make a lot of energy (cost effective). 15. Oil, gas and coal all are more expensive than nuclear production.

16. Carbon Dioxide makes the Earth warmer. 17. Nuclear energy releases Carbon Dioxide, hydro, wind and solar energy don't. 18. Hydro, Wind and Solar energy are all natural and is going to happen anyways, we are just taking advantage of it happening. 19. By 2050, one-third of the world's energy will need to come from solar, wind, and other renewable resources. 20. These 3 natural energy sources, are renewable. 21. Besides building the structure to conduct the energy there is no cost to these energy production styles. 22. Solar energy will keep 110,000 lbs of Carbon Dioxide out of the atmosphere over 25 years. 23. With solar, there's no acid rain, no urban smog, no pollution of any kind. 24. Solar energy can also prevent 60,000 lbs of coal from being used over 25 years. 25. Wind Power has been recorded as being used in 5000 B.C., obviously it is reliable if it's been around so long. 26. We keeping inventing new and better ways to harness the wind energy. 26. Wind energy production has doubled across the globe. 27. The cost of wind energy has dropped 15%. 28. Wind energy is pollution free.

29. Hydroelectric energy can be produced from natural things like waterfalls. 30. For the amount of energy produced, the production cost is next to nothing. 31. There is no pollution given off from Hydroelectric energy production. 32. Hydro-electrical energy is responsible for lighting entire cities, even countries, so it can produce a good amount of electricity. 33. Only 3% of America's dams are used to produce electricity, and they provide for 10-12% of the Nation's electricity total. 34. Water is a renewable source and will always be available.
