A: Biomass.
- easier to manage waste (ash, residue instead of radioactive waste)
- less controversy
- efficiency is a little lower, but can be improved with technological advancements
- lower cost 
- source can be sustainable if managed well (uranium and plutonium are finite, no matter how abundant they seem currently)
- not location-limited. (nuclear plants can’t really be built in countries with lots of earthquakes.)]]> 2023-10-11 07:52:31 UTC https://padlet.com/joshuahulks2_2/qpbzp5bncvotyuv7/wish/2741377374 https://padlet.com/joshuahulks2_2/qpbzp5bncvotyuv7/wish/2750138084 - Easier to manage the waste, residue instead of radioactive waste. 
- Less controversy
- Less efficiency
- Lower cost 
- No limit with location 
- sustainable source

- Produce radioactive waste
- If not managed well, it can cause some potential health problems.]]> 2023-10-17 05:37:55 UTC https://padlet.com/joshuahulks2_2/qpbzp5bncvotyuv7/wish/2750141481 Nuclear https://padlet.com/joshuahulks2_2/qpbzp5bncvotyuv7/wish/2750147953 Though biomass is safer, nuclear produces much more electricity and is more efficient. The chance of nuclear causing health problems is extremely low.]]> 2023-10-17 05:43:28 UTC https://padlet.com/joshuahulks2_2/qpbzp5bncvotyuv7/wish/2750147953 https://padlet.com/joshuahulks2_2/qpbzp5bncvotyuv7/wish/2750149591 - Both very reliable 
- Low greenhouses emissions 
- Non renewable sources
- Generate waste]]> 2023-10-17 05:44:34 UTC https://padlet.com/joshuahulks2_2/qpbzp5bncvotyuv7/wish/2750149591 https://padlet.com/joshuahulks2_2/qpbzp5bncvotyuv7/wish/2750160309 - Nuclear is more reliable
- Nuclear is more sustainable
- Nuclear has good waste management
- Biomass is environmentally more impactful than nuclear
- Biomass cost more
- Biomass is more efficient]]> 2023-10-17 05:53:14 UTC https://padlet.com/joshuahulks2_2/qpbzp5bncvotyuv7/wish/2750160309
