How to Access Non-Renewable Resources

I agree that nuclear energy is the most reliable, cleanest and most environmentally friendly source of energy that can be utilized. This source of energy has been proved to have very minimal pollution impacts due to its low emission of the greenhouse gases. Studies have shown that the rate of release of greenhouse gases decreases by 50% when nuclear gas is used as a source of energy. It is also the most reliable because when used for energy production, it can run for the next many years to come. However, this energy is currently being utilized despite the advancement in technology which can offer opportunity for maximum utilization. The major reason why modern technology has not been applied in the nuclear energy is due to the high costs involved. Currently, “the nuclear business let waste cool for a considerable length of time before blending it with glass and putting away it in enormous cooled, solid structures. This waste must be kept up, observed and watched to keep the materials from falling into the wrong hands and causing problems. These administrations and included materials cost cash – on top of the high expenses needed to put together a plant, which may make it less desirable to invest in” ( Price , 2015). The exploitation of this energy source requires permission from many international nations, a move that is normally opposed by these authorities. 

I also agree that natural gas is one of the cheapest and most abundant energy resources on the planet and that it is usually underutilized. The reason for the underutilization of the natural gas is that it requires the use of extensive pipes to transport, which makes it very expensive yet it is a non-renewable source of energy. As a result of this in addition to its high emission of greenhouse gases which could attract energy penalties, many countries consider it unreliable.
