Dear Editor, <\/span><\/p>\n

No so-called unrealistic about stopping nuclear power<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


I am writing to respond to Helen Chan Hoi-yin\u2019s opinion (\u201cCalls to scrap nuclear plants unrealistic\u201d, 16 April).<\/p>\n

The use of nuclear energy has stirred up so much controversy recently especially after the March 11 Japan disaster.<\/span>As we all know<\/span>, <\/span>nuclear power is the cheapest <\/span>kind<\/span> of energy in the world.<\/span>Thus it is understandable that why many countries are willing to rely on this radioactive fuel.<\/p>\n

However, from my point of view, depending on nuclear energy is not the way-out for the long<\/span>–<\/span>term development of a nation.<\/span>When there is a leak of radiation, the nation has to bear tons of losses like what Japan is facing currently.<\/span>And I do not agree that the idea of the scrapping of nuclear power is unrealistic at all. The invisible injury brought by this non-renewable energy strikes fears into the hearts of people indeed. Although there is an energy crisis in front of us, we should not run the risk of exploiting this highly-reactive and dangerous resource, should we? Plus, the aftermath of leakage of radiation will linger for more than thousands of years. This incurable problem is far-reaching and does bring great damage to the globe. Therefore, the proposal of abandoning the use of nuclear power is <\/span>not <\/span>totally unrealistic, but wise<\/span> and necessary<\/span>.<\/p>\n

What the consensus we all have is that we should lessen our energy consumption<\/span>. Let\u2019s<\/span> put ourselves into our <\/span>offspring’s<\/span> shoes<\/span>.\u00a0 T<\/span>hey are not born to endure the ill effects of our <\/span>energy consumption<\/span>. And that is why using nuclear power should be out of the question.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Yours faithfully, <\/span><\/p>\n
