Cohesion

*Moore argues that Nuclear energy is the only safe answer to the energy problems. He @[argues] that Wind and Solar power are unpredictable and couldn't be relied on as our main energy source. Fossil Fuels are already expensive and the price will only increase, therefore, they could not be used as a @[primary energy source]. Hydroelectric power sources are already built to capacity, and can't be used as our @[primary energy source]. The only @[power source] left is nuclear energy. He also dispels myths about @[nuclear energy], saying that it is cheap and safe, nuclear waste will not be dangerous for thousands of years, and that nuclear reactors are less vulnerable to a terrorist attack than existing natural gas and chemical plants. @[He] also says that the fact that nuclear fuel could be used to make nuclear weapons shouldn't be used to argue against nuclear energy. A @[bomb] could be made out of diesel oil, fertilizer, and cars, yet none of those things have been outlawed. @[He] also demonstrates how a switch to nuclear energy from coal, could reduces CO2 emissions by 2/3.
This exercise wasn't really very useful for me.
