The Future of Nuclear Power

            The future of nuclear power is in our hands.  It is our decision whether or not we support the progression of nuclear power.  A power plant has not been approved for construction in the U.S. since the Three Mile Island accident.  The few reactors that were built between then and now were only allowed due to the fact that they were passed before the incident.  While we are sitting stagnant and not making any strides in our nuclear power industry, China is proposing to build one hundred new nuclear power plants to support their high demand for energy.  Along with supporting nuclear power, China is also trying to become a more energy efficient country, which explains why they are beginning to pass the United States up when it comes to being the most powerful country on the planet.
