Worst way to power the plant?
I think the worst way to power the planet in Nuclear power. Nuclear is very costly. The cost of nuclear power plants are increasing a lot. Nuclear energy produces long lasting radioactive waste. There are also accidents that can lead to a release of radioactive material into environments. After years past nuclear can still be in the air. It can get into your lungs and can make you get cancer or leukemia. Fukushima was a nuclear accident that happened in 2011. The accident was rated a 7 on the INES scale. Over 100,000 people had to be evacuated from their houses to ensure no one would have a death because of this. This shows how bad a nuclear accident can be to people and environments.
Coal Vs Fracking
Fracking is worst than coal because workings add lots of chemicals to water which leads to people who have water whales and gives them different types of cancer. When chemicals get inside water it makes people lose their sense of smell and taste. When workers try to get rid of the contamination they just make it worst because they put more chemicals in. They lie to the people who live around areas where fracking is happening and tell them that their water is fine when it's really not. Coal is also bad but it doesn't affect you as much as fracking can. Coal miners can get black lung which is has no treatment but it isn't as bad as fracking because fracking can continue on to different generations.

Nuclear vs. Foreign and Domestic Oil
Nuclear power is used to make energy. This doesn't sound bad but in order to make this nuclear energy, it has to be released. Either nuclear fusion or nuclear fission are the ways it can be released. Foreign oil is oil taken from other countries. That is also bad because how would we like if someone to come to our country and take or oil just to benefit themselves? What would we do? How would we react to that? Everyone thinks it's okay to do something until it's done to them. As for domestic oil the BP oil spill was by far the worst oil spill in U.S. history. All of these ways are bad ways to power our plant. Not only is it just harming us, it is potentially harming further generations.

Man made or man made myth?
Do you believe global warming is a actual fact or myth? There have been a lot of questions about weather or
not global warming is man made or a myth. Scientist are offered a
lot of money each day by ExxonMobil just to make climate change reports. If the
scientists were paid to do this wouldn't you think that means that what
they are saying isn't true? I think people don't think global warming is real
because they haven't seen a major change the day-to-day weather. Over the years
a lot of strange things has happened. In the South Atlantic there isn't
supposed to be hurricanes. If global warming was such a myth why would this
happen? In my own opinion I believe global
warming is real. I don't think it's a myth but I do feel ass if it's both man
made and natural. Humans are contributing to what is already happening to our
plant. Global warming is a big issue and no one will ever know weather or not it is man made or a myth.
