On 17th century and issue-power


In 1629 an Italian engineer, Giovanni Branca, was probably the first to invent an actual impulse turbine. This device, a stamping mill, was generated by a steam-powered turbine. A jet nozzle directed steam onto a horizontally mounted turbine wheel, which then turned an arrangement of gears that operated his mill. I feel that that the steam engine was one of the greatest inventions. A majority of the electricity that is produced in the United States is produced by heating water, whether it be coal or nuclear. The steam engine is an integral part on the way we live in our society. This brings up a good point about Nuclear power. I have always been very pro-nuclear power, because i am all about paying the least amount for something as possible. i am one of those people who takes a calculator to find the best price for ounce. i understand why people are hesitant about nuclear power, but there has not been a problem with nuclear reactors since the 1980s, and that was in Russia. Even when Japan's nuclear reactor was hit by a tsunami and earth quake, it had some major problems but nothing bad happened, they were able to solve it.


· when they make these nuclear power plants they include these things,

· high-quality design & construction,
· equipment which prevents operational disturbances or human failures and errors developing into problems,
· comprehensive monitoring and regular testing to detect equipment or operator failures, redundant and diverse systems to control damage to the fuel and prevent significant radioactive releases,
· Provision to confine the effects of severe fuel damage (or any other problem) to the plant itself.

when i lived in California for two years, energy prices was a big thing, California has a problem with producing enough energy for all of its population. i feel that every state can make their own decisions, but there was a couple of nuclear power plants that were shut down do to environmental concerns. i am just saying, that if you choose to not partake in the benefits of nuclear power, then don't complain about you energy crisis or steal electricity from Arizona.
