Nuclear plant the right step

The government's consideration of building a nuclear power plant to cope with a potential energy shortage raises a number of pros and cons. Many believe that having a nuclear power plant could bring about a catastrophe like Chernobyl.

However, we have to realize that our present energy resources are limited and cannot be recycled. We will run out of them eventually. We must therefore act instead of involving ourselves in lengthy discussions on the matter.
