This week focus heavily on the proliferation and use of nuclear energy and its potential to impact the global climate. Additionally, your required multimedia sources discuss a number of nontraditional energy saving technologies. These technologies include such innovations as cool roofs, electric vehicles, alternative light bulbs, and smart grid systems and could provide significant environmental benefits in the near future. In your initial post, compare and contrast one nontraditional energy-saving technology of your choice with nuclear energy generation. Make sure to address the pros and cons of both production technologies and discuss which technology you believe has the better chance of becoming a reliable alternative energy source in the near future.
Your initial post should be at least 250 words in length. Support your claims with at least two scholarly sources in addition to your text. Properly cite any references in APA format and respond to at least two of your classmates' initial posts by Day 7.
