Nuclear Technology Vs Renewable Energy


Nuclear Technology for power generation has been used around the world since 1950s and as matter of fact, renewable energy also has been used widely since 1950s but most people doesn’t aware of it. It’s due to the price to commence it very expensive and some good efficiency material during that era like for example, solar energy material like high purity crystalline silicon is very pricy to produce.


 

The main advantages for nuclear technology are that it produces very high energy and as the result it can be used to power turbine and produce massive electricity. Secondly the input which is uranium won’t be run out compare to fossil fuel because if the uranium is getting weak, it can be

For renewable energy, it’s currently one of the best in the world because the main advantages of this energy are that it will last forever and it doesn’t pollute the environment. Energy like solar, wind, thermal and tides are free and they can be constant throughout the year in some countries.

The disadvantages of nuclear technology are that, it’s really dangerous because it can cause mass destruction and the costs like decommissioning can be very expensive. The disadvantages of renewable energy are it’s expensive to commence, it cannot produce mass electricity compare to nuclear energy and it only can be practice in some countries that has constant supply of these energies through out the year.

As the conclusion, both energy has pros and cons but still practical to use. It's a choice for any country to use whichever they think is the best.
