We should not depend on nuclear energy; it's too risky and slow to combat climate change. Renewable energy sources like wind, water, and solar are cleaner, faster to deploy, and increasingly cost-effective.

I strongly believe that we should close existing nuclear plants. Nuclear energy is not only dangerous due to the risk of catastrophic accidents, but it also produces long-lasting waste that we have no safe method of disposing of. We have much better alternatives in renewable energy sources like wind and solar that are safer, more sustainable, and can provide the energy we need.
