Nuclear power
Nuclear power is one of the most controversial ways of generating electricity. Nuclear power stations are capable of producing large quantities of power almost continuously. Large numbers of people are needed to operate them and this creates skilled jobs in the areas where they are located. Opponents point to the huge damage that could be caused by an accident or terrorist attack, the dangerous waste that is produced, and the inefficiency of producing large amounts of electricity in remote locations.

Biofuels
There is simply not enough agricultural land in the world to replace fossil fuels with biofuels. We will need to use them efficiently, as well as using other sources of power.
Fossil Fuel
The energy in fossil fuels comes from the sun. The energy stored in fossil fuels was built up over millions of years. To replace this amount of energy by capturing it from the sun in plants and turning them into biofuels would require a huge amount of land. We need this land to produce food.
