Right nw, the biggest surce f energy in the wrld is fssil fuel （化石燃料）. Fssil fuels are il, gas, and cal. Mre than 80 percent f the wrld's energy cmes frm fssil fuel. There are many prblems with fssil fuel. One prblem is that when fssil fuel is burned, it pllutes the air. Als, when we take fssil fuel frm the Earth, we ften cause a lt f harm. Anther prblem is that we're running ut f it. ①
A big surce f energy fr many cuntries is nuclear pwer （核能）:Thirty-ne cuntries use
nuclear pwer. A lt f ships als use it.
Nuclear pwer has sme advantages. First f all, we can’t run ut f nuclear pwer. Nuclear pwer des nt make the air dirty. Als, if a cuntry has nuclear pwer, it desn't need t buy as much il frm ther cuntries. ②
Hwever, there are als a lt f prblems that cme with nuclear pwer. Fr example, sme nuclear accidents are very serius. In 1986, there was a nuclear accident in Russia.

That was several years ag, but Japan is still trying t clean up the nuclear waste frm the accident. ⑧

A lt f peple in the United States, Russia, Prance, Japan, India, and many ther cuntries want their cuntries t use safer and cleaner ways t get electricity（电力）.Smetimes they get tgether t shw their s tng disagreement with nuclear energy. ④
Many peple hate nuclear energy, but mre and mre cuntries are using it. One reasn fr this is that the wrld is using mre and mre energy. We just dn’t have enugh fssil fuel. Hwever, if we use nuclear pwer, then we may have mre serius prblems in the future.
