Advantage of nuclear planes
You may think that nuclear energy doesn't worth the risks, but some things really worth it. As nuclear energy is thought to be one of the main pollutants on the earth, the reality is different. It releases carbon dioxide less than most other ways to make energy. This way the planes will pollute less when they will fly, than other choices. Even if they polluted the same amount it would still worth more, as it is against other ways to create energy very effective, and could fly longer distances in faster times than average. A new material found called Thorium would be a very good energy producer. In fact 1tonne of this material makes the same amount of energy as 3.5 million tones of coal which suggests its not only an efficient and effective material for powered stations, but might even be used! This would mean that the prize of the material would worth using. The airplanes in statistics produce about 5%-6% percent of the global warming increasing. The nuclear planes would decrease this percentage, which would improve a smaller part of the worldwide problem.In our opinion this might be one of the choices that are good alternatives for now.
