 * NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS NOT ONLY PROVIDE CHEAP AND EFFECTIVE ENERGY, THEY ALSO GIVE THE COMMUNITY IMPORTANT JOBS THAT BOOST THE ECONOMY**

With gas prices increasing like crazy, having a nuclear power plant in our community will provide us with cheap and effective energy. This will really help us in the future. According to one source, nuclear power plants already provide 11% of the energy in the world. If we continue to build these plants in various communities like Punxsutawney, we can increase this percentage. Our energy needs would be on the way to being resolved.

One of the major concerns of nuclear power is safety. The following website shows how safe nuclear power is because of all the safety measures and regulations that have been implemented. []

According to the site, timeforchange.org/ pros-and-cons-of-nuclear-power-and-sustainability, these are some advantages to nuclear power plants. -Nuclear power generation does emit relatively low amounts of carbon dioxide (CO2). The emissions of green house gases and therefore the contribution of nuclear power plants to global warming is therefore relatively little. -This technology is readily available, it does not have to be developed first. -It is possible to generate a high amount of electrical energy in one single plant.

Some people who have never heard of nuclear science or nuclear power plants should watch the following video. It is fun and it gives a basic understanding of nuclear science.

Overall... Nuclear Power is an excellent energy source to bring to Punxsutawney. It will provide so many jobs that will significantly help our declining population. Energy that it will bring will also help benefit our community. BRING NUCLEAR ENERGY TO PUNXSY.
