Pros of Nuclear Energy -  Jackson Bell
.  Nuclear energy is very low fuel cost compared to other sources, making it one of the most cost effective forms of energy to operate.
.  It is very reliable in the sense that external climatic factors don't effect nuclear energy as much, and there is very predictable and steady energy output.
.  Nuclear energy is way easier to keep pollution contained, as the output of pollution is way lower than fossil fuel based energy sources.
Cons of Nuclear Energy -
.  The costs of building nuclear power plants is very expensive.  For example, the cost to build a nuclear power plant has gone up from 2002 to 2008 as it was $2 to $4 billion, and it became $9 billion.
.  Nuclear energy is very risky in terms of accidents because nuclear explosions can happen, and there is a lot of long term effect from nuclear waste in certain areas, causing radiation disabilities.
.  There is huge national security threat with countries who have a lot of nuclear energy because other countries and terrorists usually want to gain control of it to cause disasters to those countries.

France produces approximately 70% of the electricity it consumes from nuclear energy, the largest share in the world.  Overall, France has 61.3 GW of nuclear generation, and France generates approximately two-thirds of its electricity from nuclear sources, a larger share than any other country. The reason France is the most reliant on nuclear resources is because France has no oil or gas, and their coal resources are very poor and virtually exhausted.

Wind Energy - Shelby Baudoin

Pros - Additionally, wind energy is completely renewable and will never run out unlike coal, natural gas, or oil.
- The turbines are expensive but when up and running the fuel (wind) is free.
- It also causes more jobs to be open to more people.

Cons - Using wind as an energy source isn't very reliable because it is intermittent meaning its not continuous.
- Wind energy can have bad environmental impacts, including the potential to reduce, fragment, or degrade habitat for wildlife, fish, and plants.
- Wind turbines can be noisy when operating, as a result of both the mechanical operation and the wind vortex that’s created when the blades are rotating

PROS
Clean Energy Source:
Nuclear is the largest source of clean power in the United States

Most Reliable Energy Source:
Nuclear power plants run 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Creates Jobs
The nuclear industry supports nearly half a million jobs in the United States and contributes an estimated $60 billion to the U.S. gross domestic product each year.

CONS
1. Produces Low Pollution
In comparison to coal, gas, and other electric-generating plants, nuclear offers the lowest by far in greenhouse gas emissions.

2. Low Cost
Once they are up and running, electricity generated by nuclear plant reactors is far less expensive than coal, gas, or any other fossil fuel plant for that matter.

3. Reliability
Unlike other renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar for example, which are dependent on weather conditions, nuclear energy has no such constraints and is unaffected by external climatic factors, which is great in times of natural disasters.

By far the largest nuclear electricity producers are the China with 789,919 GWh of nuclear electricity in 2020, followed by China with 344,748 GWh. As of January 2022, 437 reactors with a net capacity of 389,609 MWe are operational, and 52 reactors with net capacity of 53,905 MWe are under construction.

Uruguay would be benefited by Natural gas because they have very little of it and they would usually use gas instead of Natural gas.
Pros to Natural gas is that it is a safe and reliable energy, its a major power source and is a mature energy source. Some cons is that it causes acid rain,air pollution and is a contribution to global warming.

2) Doesn’t Disrupt Farmland Operations
3) Reduces Our Dependence of Fossil Fuels

Cons -
1) Expensive Upfront Cost
2) Dangerous to Some Wildlife
3) Noisy

The benefit to china using this energy source is the fact that its free fuel to power it and less expensive in the long term.

- Evan Wilson

cons:
Expensive Initial Cost to Build

Construction of a new nuclear plant can take anywhere from 5-10 years to build, costing billions of dollars
Radioactive Waste
Even though nuclear energy production doesn’t emit any emissions, it does produce radioactive waste that must be securely stored so it doesn’t pollute the environment.
Limited Fuel Supply
Even though it’s not a fossil fuel, the risk that uranium will eventually run out still exists
Pros:
Clean Energy Source
Nuclear is the largest source of clean power in the United States

Most Reliable Energy Source
They are designed to operate for longer stretches and refuel every 1.5 – 2 years.
Creates Jobs
The nuclear industry supports nearly half a million jobs in the United States and contributes an estimated $60 billion to the U.S. gross domestic product each year.

Pro 1- Saudi Arabia makes alot of money from oil.
Pro 2- Saudi Arabia sells the 2nd most oil out to the world which means the world pretty much relies on them.
Pro 3-When having all this oil they dont have to buy it from other countries which means they get it alot cheaper then other countries or we do.

Con 1- A con about Saudi Arabia having all that oil is when it is being collected the air polution they polute alot of bad things in the air
Con 2- Another con of Saudi Arabia is Ocean polution and it sometimes isn't their fault when other countries buy from them if they spill the oil in their ocean all the sea life will get affected.
Con 3- With Saudi Arabia selling this much oil it is good and bad because oil is non renewable which means eventually it will run out and at the rate they are selling it, it wont be much longer before they run out.

Saudi Arabia is one of or is the leader because the amount of oil they have and they export this is very benificial because lots of countries rely on them so they can control the economy they also make other countries stay on good terms with them because if they dont they can cut off all oil exports to that country and make them buy somewhere else.

Avery Anderson
Cons-
1.Expensive to Build. Despite being relatively inexpensive to operate, nuclear power plants are incredibly expensive to build—and the cost keeps rising.
2.Produces Radioactive Waste
3.Limited Fuel Supply.

Pros-
1.Carbon-free electricity
2.High power output
3.Reliable energy source
Why they could benefit? -
Nuclear energy, with the fuel cost being a relatively small part of the overall cost, made good sense in minimizing imports and achieving greater energy security. As a result of the 1974 decision, France now claims a substantial level of energy independence and below average electricity costs in Europe.

coal- Australia has had a longtime love affair with fossil fuels, particularly coal. The country produces substantially more coal than it consumes, and coal exports contribute around 50 billion Australian dollars ($37.5bn) a year to national income. In 2019-20 alone, Australia exported 213 million tonnes.

pros-
1. provides around 65 per cent of Australia's electricity and remains the most reliable form of power generation.
2. produce energy
3.  providing affordable electricity to households, businesses, manufacturing facilities, transportation and communications systems, and services throughout our economy.

cons-
1.  lung cancer
2. heart disease and premature death.
3. is actually radioactive
