Grade 9’s Social Study Debate:

Japan should continue to rely on nuclear power as a major energy source in the 21th century

              In grade 9^th social study class, we will do debate whether continue using nuclear power in Japan. We will do this tomorrow 2013/05/24. So for my practice for debate I thought it will be good idea to share with my ESL class. If I have to choose I’ll be on negative, but in case it is coin flip to choose negative side or positive side. For my affirmative position, a lot of people are using electricity and 27% of Japan’s energy comes from nuclear energy, also, most of students and workers are using computer even you are using it now to look this site. Second, when tsunami comes we can protect with the wall that government makes, so that there won’t be damage to city, town and nature. For example, in 2012 Kansai announced that it would take over four years on defenses against earthquakes and tsunamis. However for my negative position, in the future there will be big earthquakes coming to Japan and nuclear power could explode again. In Chernobyl disaster, lots of people was affected after nuclear reactive blew up. Most of people and plants were harmed by this. For other reason, people are concentrating no nuclear plant too much. They shouldn’t use electricity too much; around 27%of Japanese are using electricity. In future in 2017, it will increase until 41% and 50% by 2030.
