There is a safer, more secure and more equitable way to fuel our societies, than nuclear power. Greenpeace and the European Renewable Energy Council have developed an energy scenario which shows how 95% of the worlds energy needs can be met by renewable energy sources by 2050: reliable energy, with more jobs, more equitable power distribution, and no "peak solar" or "peak wind" fuel price variations. Under this plan no new nuclear reactors would be ordered.
But this isn't just a theory, it is happening.
In Spain today, 35% of the energy mix comes from renewables, 16% of it from wind. Portugal shifted its electrical grid from 15% to 45% renewables in the space of just 5 years. And, Germany's installed solar energy capacity is greater than all six of the Fukushima reactors combined.
As we approach the first anniversary of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill and contemplate the nightmare currently unfolding in Japan, it is worth opening a real dialogue with those who would support dangerous energy choices like fossil fuels and nuclear energy.
The dangers involved are too great to be dismissed and the risks unnecessary. The Earth has provided us with a sustainable solution: an energy (r)evolution based only on clean, safe and secure renewable sources of energy.

You cannot just copy and paste from a Website, in this case CNN's article on the risk that nuclear energy poses.
返信削除The idea is to use sources to INFORM the perspective that you create. This is meant to be a creative exercise, not one of copying what someone else has written. Based one what Kumi Naidoo is quoted as saying in the article and what you learn about her through other sources, you have to flesh out a perspective that may include PARAPHRASES of some of the things that she has said along with things that you think she is likely to believe and express based on what you know about her.
In order to do this, you must use, at least, two sources.
It you copy something from a source verbatim without quotation marks, even if you cite the source, it is considered plagiarism. So, be very careful about that.
