Obviously, Nuclear Energy is a disastrous way to create electricity. The depleted uranium waste is impossible to dispose of safely. It remains radioactive for thousands of years and must be stored in an armed repository to prevent terrorists from stealing it and creating a dirty bomb.
Coal is also a horrible way to create electricity as it releases deadly air pollution. Even if we sell the coal overseas, the pollution will be carried by the wind over our heads... creating global warming.
President Donald Trump on Thursday announced a number of energy initiatives, including a review of U.S. nuclear energy policy and efforts to make sure new coal plants are built overseas. Trump said his administration will attempt to expand the nuclear energy sector by launching a "complete review" of current policy to identify ways to revive the industry.
