Is Nuclear Power a boon or a bane? Do you agree or disagree?

#power #boon #bane
The use of radioactive elements to power homes has been a hot topic of debate for decades. Some believe that nuclear
energy
 does more harm than good while others believe in its contrast. I completely agree with the latter as it reduces our dependency on limited
energy
 sources and is more feasible for even developing countries.
To begin
 with, we all know that limited natural resources like coal and petroleum have been in use since the industrial revolution. At the current rate of its usage our
next
 generation might only be able to see these in museums. These sources
also
 cause a lot of pollution and are less efficient as compared to nuclear
energy
.
For example
, the USA currently owns nuclear powered ships and submarines which can function for fifty straight years as compared to coal powered ships which consumes two tons of coal every day.
Thus
, nuclear
energy
 is more efficient and mitigates consumption of limited
energy
 sources.
In addition
,
although
 setting up nuclear plants might be expensive, in the long run it turns out to be more economical.
For example
, India, which is still a developing country has invested heavily in Nuclear deals as nuclear power has proven the long term gain. India has
also
 invested in
energy
 sources like solar, wind and hydroelectric but the power throughput cannot meet the demand.
Therefore
, establishing Nuclear plants is even more feasible for developing countries than setting up alternate source plants at a massive scale. In conclusion, thermonuclear
energy
 is a boon for the planet as it helps us preserve other depleting resources and
also
 are more economical in the long run.

Include an introduction and conclusion

A conclusion is essential for IELTS writing task 2. It is more important than most people realise. You will be penalised for missing a conclusion in your IELTS essay.

The easiest paragraph to write in an essay is the conclusion paragraph. This is because the paragraph mostly contains information that has already been presented in the essay – it is just the repetition of some information written in the introduction paragraph and supporting paragraphs.

The conclusion paragraph only has 3 sentences:

  • Summary
  • Restatement of thesis
  • Prediction or recommendation

Example:

To summarize, a robotic teacher does not have the necessary disciple to properly give instructions to students and actually works to retard the ability of a student to comprehend new lessons. Therefore, it is clear that the idea of running a classroom completely by a machine cannot be supported. After thorough analysis on this subject, it is predicted that the adverse effects of the debate over technology-driven teaching will always be greater than the positive effects, and because of this, classroom teachers will never be substituted for technology.

Start your conclusion with a linking phrase. Here are some examples:

  • In conclusion
  • To conclude
  • To summarize
  • Finally
  • In a nutshell
  • In general
