Will the World be Able to Pull Together the Current Energy Crises?

 by Samir Akram

Energy is an engine pushing for economic development and prosperity and with the world's rapidly growing economies we are always short of it. With the ominous, alluring, inauspicious bomb of smoke stampeding out of the dystopian factories, we must switch to a more environmentally friendly energy source. Is there a power source that can save our scared, disdained, butchered planet from carbon dioxide taking over?

Nuclear energy is the best to fulfil this job.  Nuclear fusion is when atoms split inside a reactor core which creates the energy to boil water. This is an excellent utopian method to power Britain. The future is even crying out for us to use nuclear fusion. As of now, four-hundred and forty-three nuclear reactors will be producing power in thirty-two different nations, and fifty-five more will be under development. Thirteen nations relied on nuclear energy to provide at least twenty-five per cent of their total electricity by the end of 2018. Nuclear energy even accounts for more than half of the overall electricity produced in France, Slovakia and Ukraine. 

Dismal, dreary and desolate are just some of the words we associate with the disastrous Chernobyl events, but this should not be the case. The reactor's poor design, combined with a series of poorly qualified operations was the main reason for the Chernobyl tragedy. It is important to fully understand what modern technology can do in order to prevent the same accident from ever happening again. It is impossible to create a system that is fail-proof but in the case of a nuclear reactor scientists and engineers must adhere to a more rigid standard. The designers of nuclear reactors must not only think about the possible meltdown of the nuclear reactor due to an internal failure. The designers must also consider the external environment such as floods, terrorist attacks, tsunamis, earthquakes and other calamities.
