Nuclear:

Since the 1979 and the Three Mile Island incident there have been no new nuclear
power plants.. (This can be used to show that people are afraid of nuclear power).
In 25 years there have only been 3 major nuclear disasters while with fossil fuels there
have been over 10.
Every year and a half to two years, every nuclear plant goes through a cleaning cycle
that shuts down the plant to allow for the removal of radioactive waste.
Research shows that you will get more radiation over your lifetime from being around
personal electronics than from being near a nuclear power plant.
It can cost over 6 billion dollars to build one new reactor for an existing plant.

Fossil Fuels:
At every stage in using fossil fuels from extracting refining and using there is pollution
no matter what.
Fossil fuels provide for over 85% of all the energy we consume.
It is estimated that given our current trend in consumption, and the predictive
discovery of new sources of fossil fuels, that the world will run out of them within 100
to 200 years.
Americans use about 18 millions barrels of oil everyday.
It takes almost 26 tons of raw petroleum to produce 1 liter of gas. It takes almost 800
pounds of coal to power a light bulb 24/7 for an entire year. It would take the natural
process of decomposition of materials 422 years to replace what we currently
consume in a year in fossil fuels.
The burning of natural gas releases less carbon dioxide than other than other fossil
fuels per energy unit.
Drilling for oil in sea can disturb marine life, specially when there is oil spill. Leaking
storage tanks can create toxic fumes and pollute groundwater.

Renewables:
The earth gets 174 Petawatts of incoming solar radiation in the upper atmosphere.
Solar powered hot water systems utilize solar energy to heat water. In certain areas,
60 to 70% of water used domestically for temperatures as high as 60 degree Celsius
can be made available by solar heating.
Solar energy produce no pollution, have no environmental effects and is ecologically
acceptable.
The earth receives about 1,366 watts of direct solar radiation per square meter.
The largest turbines can harness energy to power 600 American homes.
Operational costs are minimal after the erection of turbines. Mass production and
advances in technology are making turbines cheaper than never before.
Wind power is also unique for the fact that it does not use any water.
According to NREL, 1MW of wind energy can offset approximately 2,600 tons of
carbon dioxide (CO2).
The cost of installing a geothermal heat pump in a basic home ranges from $10,000 to
 $20,000, which can pay off itself over time (5 to 10 years).
Underneath the earths surface, there is a substantial amount of greenhouse gasses.
Harnessing of the heat can potentially lead to the migration of these gasses to the
surface of the earth and pollute the air
Construction of geothermal power plants has the potential to cause surface instability
and trigger earthquakes.
