Nuclear Power

Nuclear power is a power made by using uranium. These days more than 15% of the world's electricity comes from nuclear power.

Nuclear power has many disadvantages on disadvantage is that to produce the energy you have to spent a lot of money, also and in the safety side if you didn’t used it well it can create a major disaster. Another disadvantage is that if we produced its power we don’t have any safe way to get rid of the rubbish.

Although, it have a lot also many advantages. One important advantage is that the nuclear power cost the same amount that other sources cost like fuel and coal etc. Another advantage and it is the most important one is that the nuclear power does not affect the pollution with carbon dioxide.

UAE is one of the countries that use one source of energy and it is the fuel. UAE and France, UAE and Britain both have signed a nuclear power deal. That is because of more demands of electricity that the UAE need and that they will use it to develop the peaceful nuclear infrastructure.

Footprint it is a way to measure the relative impact of our action. The contribution is made for the global climate change. The carbon is measured in ponds, tones and kilograms. It is the total amount of carbon dioxide and green gasses.There are two ways to calculate carbon footprint. First, using life cycle assessment method that is very professional. Second to be limited and immediately attributable emission.The Top bottom calculation is used in the world map and the bottom up calculation is the sum attributable carbon emission from individual actions.Carbon dioxide is the most none of greenhouse gasses (GHGS). Some carbon footprint calculation includes all Applicable gases effect the persistently warming globe.If you know what your carbon footprint is you will start to decease it.

Abu Dhabi CoOl city

Recently I watched I video about Cool City that will be built in Abu Dhabi. This city will be one of the cities that maybe anyone would like to live in.The Cool City is a city with 50% less carbon dioxide. The latest technologies in the gulf region are used in this city. There are many zones in the city. business, resort, cultural and residential zone. The trees in the city are to help to decrease heat. The fresh cool air can be recycled. There are many transportation ways like water and monorail transportation. The buildings are different than the normal ones because they contain new technology like, hydrogen system, high performance glass and water and ice storage tanks.In my opinion this city is a great city, but for myself I don’t prefer to live in it. This is because I like the normal life that everyone lives in.
