Apollon Meeting ①

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

Moderator: Isabela

Agreeside: Lucy, Ashley, Sara
Lusy: She agree with using solar energy. She thinks it's a strong point that solar solar energy use electricity.
Ashley: She also agree solar energy because it's good for environment. It's good for us in the long run because, though it really costs, can make up for it someday.
Sara: She said nucler energy is harmful for nature and human, and has risks of happening big problem.

Disagreeside: Sophie, Emily
Sophie:She disagree with using solar energy because she thinks solar energy needs large space, and we have to kill many plants. So, it damages to industrial tourism because some people come to Apollon to see rare plants.
Emily:Solar energy depends on whether, so solar energy is unstable. She is a singer, so her concert use big energy, so nuclear is better. Moreover, solar energy costs a lot.

From a standpoint of each occupation
Sara: She is a photographer. So, she respects nature there, but nuclear power has a risk of damaging forests. There is a problem of radition.
Ashley:When she marry her boyfriend and have a baby, she warry about children's future because of radition. Solar system is safety.
Lucy: She thinks, actually, solar system's first cost is expensive, but we can save money in the long run.
Sophie: She is entertainer, so she warry about TV off when we use solar energy. Solar energy is unstable and it isn't enough to change nuclear system.
Isabere: Acutually, other country have accidents about nuclear energy.
Emily: Solar system is also dangerous. If solar panels are broken, we can't use any energy.

Question and Opinion
Q1: Why do we discuss only solar energy and nuclear energy? There are various energy in the world, for example, wind energy, water energy, terrestrial heat or so on.
Answer: We are thinking about it.
My opinion: We should stop nuclear energy because of radition. However, nuclear energy is nesessary now. So, I think we should decrease nuclear energy gradually. Then,using other energy, we can compensate for the big energy.

Consensus
Stay and try to reduce nuclear system until we find better system.

Final comment
I think the discussion was so effective because all panelists had several opinion to persuade people in the other side, and the moderator could get each panelist's idea in shape. Personally, they could find a better point of compromise.
