Plan
I was thinking of writing about nuclear energy as an alternative source of energy. I think that I want to focus on how people react to the concept of nuclear energy. This would probably include how it has been used in the past and what sort of problems there have been. I’m interested in looking at how safe people think nuclear energy is and I would probably have to address how viable of an alternative to fossil fuels it really is.

Shannon Woods: I apologize if the lists of accidents and countries were a bit much. I just found them very interesting.
