A、Government should respect ideas of the public. B、Nuclear power is likely to lead to accidents. C、The construction will cost lo

M:(12)The Energy Minister announced yesterday the construction of three more nuclear power stations. These will form a vital part of the government’s energy plans for the next two decades and are needed to satisfy the country’s growing demands for electricity.
W: More nuclear power stations? He must be absolutely mad!
M: OK. Jane. But we’ve got to get the energy from somewhere, haven’t we? We can’t just go on using oil and coal.
W: Look.(13)The main point is that they are just notsafe. They are a real menace in fact. Every one ofthese things is an accident waiting to happen.
M: Well. I agree there’s a risk. Of course there is. But it’s minimal. With new technology, nuclear reactors are much safer.
W: Much safer! You must be joking. Look at all that radioactive waste they’re dumping into the sea and underground. Nobody really knows what will happen in the long run.
M: That’s a problem.(14)But it’s also true that nuclear energy is cheap and can produce electricity very quickly. Lots of countries have no alternatives. They don’t have any oil, coal or anything. What are they supposed to do?
W: Oh, come on. There’re lots of possibilities. Well, quite a few. We just haven’t really looked at them seriously enough.(15)There’s solar energy, and wind power and, what’s called, wave power. We’ve still got a lot of coal.
M: Alright.(15)But they’ll take time and money to develop. We need energy now and nuclear is the best alternative.
W: Oh. I don’t believe this. I reckon it’s crazy.
