Cartoon on Chernobyl

Nuclear vs. Foreign and Domestic Oil 

Personally, I feel that nuclear is way worse than Foreign or Domestic Oil. 

Well we have to know what each are first to even decided which is worse. Nuclear is when you basically split atoms apart to get a very toxic substance. Foreign Oil is oil that we get from other countries. Domestic Oil is oil that we get from our own country. 

Foreign oil has caused huge wars between the United States and foreign countries like Afghanistan. Domestic oil has cause huge disasters in areas like the gulf of Mexico. Like the Exxon Valdez. 

In my opinion, nothing is worse than the after math of a nuclear accident. 

There was something that happened in 1986 called Chernobyl, and it still affects the world today. At this very moment. Chernobyl was a nuclear power plant that had a reactor that exploded. Which cause the radiation the leak into the atmosphere and into the surrounding towns and areas. 

As said in a youtube video called Chernobyl & Pripyat 2007, "The meltdown of the nuclear reactor of Chernobyl is possibly the worst technological accident in history." 

Also there was Fukushima in Japan, 2011. As said in an article about Fukushima, "... the explosion at Japan's Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant has elevated fears of nuclear fallout. Some are putting the accident on level just below Chernobyl." 
Clean up of the Exxon Valdez, 1989

Chernobyl wiped out a whole town, Fukushima has harmed a lot of japan. Nuclear is extremely dangerous and we have 104 nuclear power plants in the united states. I would choose Foreign & Domestic oil over Nuclear any day.

  1. I really like the picture you included of mickey mouse having two heads because it shows a perfect example on what effects occurred and is still occurring with chernobyl. I agree on with you of nuclear being worse then domestic and foreign oil.
