Some of the issues that we discussed in our group presentation are related to this post among many others. The CAN DU Act is a policy that can not be ignored. Doing nothing is not an option anymore. The energy sources we use today may be efficient but they are hurting the environment. This act needs to be instated for several reasons. Nuclear energy is the future of energy. The fear of a reaction cannot stop us from taking this step. There has never been a nuclear reaction where it caused injury or death to workers and members of the community surrounding the plant in the United States. It is more efficient that any other form of energy. Increasing Nuclear energy would require new nuclear plants to be built and this would help create hundreds of jobs for the community per plant. . Solar and Wind energy are also on the rise. Both of these power sources are completely emission less and do no harm to the environment. Increasing these power sources would help to decrease the need to use coal, oil and ethanol. These energy sources are bad for the atmosphere and need to be replaced. Going overseas to get oil is expensive and is not practical. It makes the United States rely on other countries to run our own country. This act would help The Untied States strive for energy independence. We have all the resources and technology to make this work. The current leading energy sources are non renewable so they need to change sometime before they run out. Our projected energy sources are renewable, emission less, and friendly to our atmosphere. Our plan helps to create new jobs that are currently non existent. This is not an issue where we can not do anything. This policy is something that we C.A.N. D.U. and will help solve the problem of global warming. This is a small piece that was required to be put on a blog for a policy proposal project.
