However, not only is nuclear energy very expensive to produce, but nuclear waste remains highly dangerous for thousands of years and accidents could devastate huge areas. If we are to avoid being driven into a nuclear future we must step up research and development for safe and sustainable methods of energy production. We can build better security sites for existing nuclear waste and we can phase out existing nuclear power stations. Comments Posting comment...
