Right now, the biggest source of energy in the world is fossil fuel. Fossil fuels are oil, gas,
and coal. More than 80 percent of the world's energy comes from fossil fuel. There are many
problems with fossil fuel. One problem is that when fossil fuel is burned, it pollutes the air. Also,
when we take fossil fuel from the Earth, we often cause a lot of damage. Another problem is that we are running out of it. That is why we need new sources of energy. A big source of energy for many countries is nuclear power. Thirty-one countries use nuclear power.

Nuclear power has some advantages. First of all, we can't run out of nuclear power. Nuclear
power does not make the air dirty. Also, if a country has nuclear power, it doesn't need to buy
as much as oil from other countries
However, there are also a lot of problems that come with nuclear power. For example,
nuclear accidents are very serious. In 1986, there was a nuclear accident in Ukraine and about
4,000 people got sick and died. In 2011, there was another very serious nuclear accident in Japan. Japan is now trying to clean up the nuclear waste from the accident.
Many people don't want nuclear power in their countries. They say that it is not safe. A lot
of people want their countries to use safer and cleaner ways to get electricity. Although many
people hate nuclear energy, more and more countries are using it. One reason for this is that the world is using more and more energy. We just don't have enough fossil fuel. However, if we use nuclear power, then we may have more serious problems in the future.
