Electricity for your TV: You Might Want to Understand Where It Comes From
People have remained uneducated about nuclear energy for too long. Americans are limiting their educational resources to movies and television more and more, and less and less to books. Contrary to most movies and television shows, reactors are not nuclear weapons and do not explode. Contrary to what many in the mainstream media say, wind generators and solar cell panels cannot power a major city. Just take a look at the distribution of nuclear power plants in our country in relation to major metropolitan areas. If you live in one of these areas, you are most likely enjoying energy supplied by a nuclear reactor at an affordable rate. If you do the math and compare the Megawatt (MW) demand to what the various types of energy sources provide, you will see the problem. So, unless you want to see 45,000 windmills littering your landscape instead of trees, you might reconsider the benefit of that little nuclear power plant you drive by every day and fail to notice. ( for example- San Onofre Nuclear Power Plant on the coast of southern California, or quiet Davis Besse in Sandusky on your way to Cedar Point). Oh, and by the way, that is water vapor coming from those cooling towers, the same chemicals that are in clouds. Yes, clouds.
