Our knowledge of nuclear energy is clouded. The specters of Fukushima and Chernobyl, visions of a mushroom cloud, and desolate fallout loom large over our heads. Mass media has kept our attention divided by focusing more on the challenges and threats of nuclear energy. This does not allow us to weigh the pros and cons of nuclear energy in a fair manner. It is no wonder then that we have failed to appreciate the benefits of nuclear energy which greatly outweigh the relative threats. The environmental and economic advantages of adopting nuclear energy are many, including overcoming the climate emergency. Nuclear power has been touted as an expensive form of energy. However, nuclear energy provides greater bang for the buck than all existing energy sources, including renewable energy.
