After watching Pandora’s Promise it gives me more of a clarity about the use of nuclear energy. I used to think that it was a terrible energy resource and that it was really dangerous do to the radioactivity it produces, but  what I can say now, I am torn by choosing between is it good or is it bad? What I do know is that it is bad in the wrong hands. As seen on the video, Nuclear energy, is a great environmental and an unlimited source of energy. It is seen as a clean form of energy that from a 1 pound of uranium is equivalent to 5,000 barrels of oil which is amazing, but all this produces waste. Waste that is dangerous for human beings, so they have to be buried underneath human reach, but in my opinion it will later on or eventually travel towards the surface of the earth. Other negatives aspects of this source of energy is that is radioactive and this radioactivity can travel miles, bringing cancer and death to civilians. This source of energy can also be used to create bombs, nuclear bombs which are the strongest ones and can bring a lot of devastation as seen in Japan and in Hawaii.

My perspective is that nuclear energy still has a long way to go and if its not done efficiently it can bring consequences not only to the present but to the future generations. In my opinion they should keep working on building the perfect nuclear plant which will not bring or have no waste or radiation. This technology has a long way to go and I know there are environmentalists that are still against this source of energy, but as many of the scientist and environmentalists that were against nuclear energy and changed their mind after they understood how helpful it will be, many others will do the same. I am hopeful that this source of energy will be very beneficial, and if its not this one another one that doesn’t consume so much natural resources to produce a little amount of energy.
