Read the following informational text and answer the question that follows. Nuclear Power: No Need for a Meltdown The ability to

split atoms and harness the power released has been around since the 1950s. Nuclear power is a safe, relatively clean and renewable source of energy. Considering the energy costs of the United States, it makes good sense to develop the American nuclear power industry. At present there are just over 100 nuclear plants in America providing 20% of our nation's electricity needs. No new nuclear power plants have been built since the 1970s. While America has neglected nuclear power plant development, other countries have enthusiastically utilized nuclear power plants to lessen their greenhouse gas emissions and dependence on fossil fuels. Modern advances in nuclear reactor construction and monitoring have resulted in safer energy production. Accidents that occurred in the past, like the famous meltdown at Chernobyl in Russia, are very unlikely in the twenty-first century. Nuclear power is safer than ever before. Unfortunately, the initial costs in building a nuclear power plant are very high. Nuclear reactors can cost as much as eight billion dollars. Another challenge is that building plants that meet the safety requirements of the American public takes a long time. Financing such long term construction products is often beyond the ability or not in the interests of private commercial banks. Since banks are unwilling or unable to lend the money, the federal government should step in and finance construction. Other governments around the world justify financing nuclear power plant construction as a vital national interest; we should too
Which of the following lines from the article best states the authors point of view?
A. “ No new nuclear power plants have been built since 1970s”
B. “Accidents that occurred in the past, like the famous meltdown at Chernobyl in Russia”
C. “ Since banks are unwilling or unable to lend the money”
D. “ Nuclear power is safer than ever before”

I believe it's either A or D. More so A, because throughout the whole article, the author is talking about building new and more Nuclear Power Plants. Although there was some focus on how it was safer than ever, I think that was just to add the authors main POV of building new power plants.

I hope this helps! -C

What makes 3D printing more efficient than traditional methods?
mr Goodwill [35]

3D printing is incredibly resource efficient since the only material consumed is what passes under the laser (or through the extruder, etc.), whereas traditional manufacturing requires the use of extra materials (molds for injection molding, scraps for perforated sheet metal assembly, etc.)

Compare and contrast greek and polynesian creation myths. !!!WILL MARK BRAINLIEST!!!
Svetach [21]

Answer:

Greek creation Myth

The Ancient Greeks believed that in the beginning, the world was in a state of nothingness which they called Chaos. Suddenly, from light, came Gaia (mother earth) and from her came Uranus (the sky) along with other old gods (called primordials) like Pontus (the primordial god of the oceans).

Polynesian creation Myth:

In Māori mythology the primal couple Rangi and Papa (or Ranginui and Papatūānuku) appear in a creation myth explaining the origin of the world (though there are many different versions). In some South Island dialects, Rangi is called Raki or Rakinui.
