Research questions

1.     11.) I find the field of power generation fascinating

2.      2.)The reason I chose this field is because I have always found the idea of generating energy fascinating and complex. I became interested in this topic the first time I realized you could generate electricity by simply turning the shaft of an electric motor.

3.     3.)  The most surprising thing I have learned from researching my topic is that the main reason we don’t have renewable energy is not due to a lack of technology, but because regulations stop promising ideas from being attempted let along enacted.

4.     4.) A large amount of people finds this debate heated and obtuse. People want to say that the old way works and why fix what isn’t broke? These arguments are mainly between the left and right political parties.

5.     5.) The topic is very easy to research but it must be itemized. If the prompt doesn’t get worded correctly it could change the entirety of the papers effect.

6.   6.)   Some subtopics are cost to construct, environmental impact, number of employees, amount of time to get up and running, and risk of failure.

7.      7.)Some other questions are

what the true cost of electricity on the environment is

 what does working in a nuclear power plant do to the human body

how long can a station stay running

what is the effect of nuclear radiation on an environment

how long does fuel in a nuclear reactor last

8.   8.)   Power, output, cost, environment, complexity, failure, and legislation.
