much of our current infrastructure is designed to run using fossil fuels
Cons of Fossil Fuels?
limited resource
produce carbon dioxide when burnt
sometimes produce toxic gases when burned
What is nuclear energy?

Pros of Nuclear energy?
do not produce any pollutants
can be used in any conditions
very unlikely to run out
Cons of Nuclear energy?
technically a finite resource
the stations produce radioactive waste, which remains harmful for thousands of years
