Nuclear power is the use of nuclear reactions that release energy to generate heat, which most frequently is then used in steam turbines to produce electricity in a nuclear power station. Since plans for a nuclear power plant at Carnsore Point in County Wexford were dropped in the 1970s, nuclear power in Ireland has been off the agenda. Ireland gets about 60% of its energy from gas, 15% from renewable and the remainder from coal and peat. Proponents argue that nuclear energy is now safe and emits much less carbon emissions than coal plants. Opponents argue that recent nuclear disasters in Japan prove that nuclear power is far from safe.

Yes, and nationalize that industry. But we should also invest in alternatives such as wind, hydropower, thorium reactors and geothermal energy. Then let studies determine which is the best option in the long term.
@8VQM6T73yrs3Y
Thorium reactors produce nuclear energy though.
@8T54N3S3yrs3Y
I support both nuclear energy and clean alternative energy such as wind and geothermal
