Description

Another a short debate from me. I'm not sure if this topic could be expanded to perhaps 5 or 7.5 thousand characters, so the purpose of this debate is to just get a sense of what the context will be. If this debate turns out to be interesting, then I'll definitely make a longer one.

So should all restrictions limiting the development of nuclear weapons be dropped to allow for faster development?

True, true.

I think nuclear power should be legal but regulated. Even nuclear advocates say it should be regulated, and heavily. It is something that requires a lot of permits to make sure it´s done in a safe way, but it works in giving about 20% of the US electricity. Compared to coal, it´s a very safe place to work, with 99.9% less deaths. The experts take care of everything that could go wrong with the plant.
