Discussion #1 ≪Group C≫

Issue: Should we use a solar energy instead of a nuclear energy?

Moderator was Isabera Horan.
Sara Cooper, Ashley Turner and Lucy Walter agreed with the issue.
On the other hand, Emily Thoma and Sophie Dawson disagreed with it.


【 Supporters 】


Sara  :  She said that using a nuclear energy is harmful for us and nature. Now we can live without big problem, but if we continue to use nuclear electric power generation, a big problem may occur, she thinks.

Ashely  :  She said that solar energy generation costs fairly at first, but it's good for environment and we can save a lot of money in the long run.

Lucy  :  She said that solar energy generation costs money, but it can save electricity. Besides, if she has her children, a solar system is safe for them; it’s safer than a nuclear system.

【 Opponents 】

Emily  :  She said that a solar system is unstable, depends on weather and costs a lot of money at first. She is a singer and her concert uses a lot of electricity, so she worries about that she’ll not be able to hold a good concert if we use only solar energy which is unstable.

Sophie  :  She said that she agreed with a solar energy generation because it’s good for environment. However, she loves nature, so she doesn't want to cut down trees to take large space for a lot of solar panels. Besides, in the view of industry, if we destroy nature, many tourists who come to see the rare plants in Apollon will be decreased.

Conclusion

It’s difficult to stop a nuclear energy soon because we still need a lot of energy now. So we stay until we find a better way.

I think their discussion was great because they were able to have a different point of view and all members took part in the discussion. Moderator, Isabera was great because she summarized each person’s opinions perfectly. Thanks to her, it was easy for us to understand what they discuss, I thought.
