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.

I don't think we should becuase our countrydoes not have enough money to afford multiple nuclear reactors and also the chances of a meltdown are highher then you think, also places like chernobyl still have high traces of radiation so if htere is one it could be centuries until its actually safe to be around that area again

What happened if you spoke out to defend a women accused of witchcraft?
bagirrra123 [75]
I’m not 100% sure of the people who spoke out to defend but there was punishment which resulted in death. They would drown them or execute them, I’m assuming they would do the same to the defenders in fear of them also being related to witchcrafts somehow

Answer:

March 16, 1751

Madison, who was born on March 16, 1751, in Virginia, was one of the most influential of all the Founding Fathers. He was a driving force behind the Constitutional Convention of 1787 and presented the first version of the Bill of Rights to Congress. Madison graduated one year before Burr. The men were in rival debating societies at Princeton. Madison graduated in 1771; his roommate was poet Philip Freneau. After serving in the House for eight years, Madison walked away from national politics in March 1797 and returned to his estate at Montpelier. But Madison, along with his mentor, Thomas Jefferson, had formed an opposition party to the Federalists, and in 1798 Madison wrote the Virginia Resolution (in opposition to the Alien and Sedition Acts) during his time off.
