Le open or Le close

BNPP has been quite a talk in our batch lately and others have taken their sides already, using a scenario we'll tell you which side were on.

Power shortage

Pretend that I’ve been elected president of the Philippines, the country is suffering from a power crisis and the only solution is opening the Bataan Nuclear Power Plant (BNPP). So, it’s up to me whether or not to open it and I say we should. I know that there’s a huge risk upon this decision, especially having the nesting place of the endangered marine turtles only an 8 minute ride away. There is a risk of a meltdown, the power plant is also located near dormant volcanoes, there are problems towards the disposal of nuclear energy, no power plant is 100% safe, and 3 major effects of radiation are cancer, genetic mutation, and radiation sieness. However, there are no other solutions to choose from, therefore the BNPP should be opened. 


It’s quite a decision looking at all the disadvantages but, not opening it will become our economies down fall. Looking at other countries, many are already in use of power plants and as we are using the power plant, I will make sure that we do not depend on the power plant alone since there are other alternative sources. There are also advantages towards the opening of the BNPP, electricity will cost less and there is only a few emission of carbon dioxide. It may be only a few advantages but it can change a lot towards our country. Many will be able to afford electricity and as said earlier only little pollution comes from it.  So, this is only our opinion you may have taken another side however we just wanted to share what we think.

Thank you for taking your time in reading this, until next time.

    We enjoyed the post, Nature Rangers, but we have some comments here. First, you told how it will affect the people, but you didn't tell how it will affect the pawikans nearby. Second ,try to add a gadget so your posts won't be that boring.

  2. I respect your decision. However, the post lacks the strong arguments you need to convince your readers that the plant should be opened. It turned out that you even stated properly the reasons of why is should NOT be opened. Cliche, isn't it?

    Also, your pronouns are stressful. You started with a "we" in the first paragraph, then changed to "I" in the second and third paragraph, then shifted again to "we" in the last sentence of the third paragraph.

    *facepalm*
