Description
The oxygen and carbon dioxide content of the air are critical to the survival of most life on earth. We are now burning huge amounts of fossil fuel to obtain heat and energy, depleting our oxygen supply and increasing the carbon dioxide in the air. We can get all the energy we need from nuclear power, safely, cheaply, and cleanly, and nuclear power consumes no oxygen and makes no carbon dioxide and causes no acid rain. The problems of nuclear waste and by-products have been solved
