[Figure 2 stimulus material]
Another piece of evidence supporting my argument is the energy source for nuclear energy is Uranium. Uranium is a scarce resource; its supply is estimated to last only for the next 30 to 60 years depending on the actual demand.

On the other hand Nuclear power stations are a way to cut down the release of carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide is a cause of global warming. After they are built they produce almost no carbon dioxide therefore the contribution of nuclear power plants to global warming is very little. This information was on both my sources, this proves it is more reliable due to the information being repeated. Global warming effects many people and the environment, it cause the sea level to rise and extreme weather conditions. Global warming could mean more cardiovascular diseases this will effect people’s families and friends and also put strain on the NHS. Having fewer green house gases contributing to global warming will cut down the extreme weather conditions and less people will be affected by cardiovascular disease.

The arguments against my
Remember to answer the question
I conclude that.....
Because..... And ensure that you add references to the answer.
Then go through the 'good' and 'bad' aspects of the topic with references added in the text.
Remember to talk about
1. Reliable data
2. Accurate data
3. Odd - anomalous results
4. Social impact
5. Economic impact
6. Environmental impact
for each of your references. Worst case scenario use the stimulus material to answer all the above.
Check the information using British Nuclear fuels and Sellafield. Tony Blair decided to build new nuclear power station. Gordon Brown has approved this. You can check the Downing Street website but I think all the material attributed to Tony Blair has been removed.

Nuclear power generation does emit relatively low amounts of carbon dioxide (CO2). The emissions of green house gases and therefore the contribution of nuclear power plants to global warming is therefore relatively little. [Source 1]
