5)*In this viewpoint, Friends of the Earth Scotland (an organization) argues that nuclear power is not a practical alternative to fossil-fuel energy sources in attempting to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions associated with global warming.

*"Nuclear power is not cost effective in reducing carbon dioxide emissions, poses serious problems to environmental safety, and contributes carbon dioxide to the atmosphere through uranium mining and plant construction." Page #191

*It has become clear that nuclear power cannot exist in a competitive energy market without significant subsidy from the UK government.

*"If fully comprehensive insurance was required to cover all of the risks of nuclear accidents, the cost of electricity from nuclear power would increase many times from the present level." Page #191

*Countries in Central and Eastern Europe, are continuing to build new nuclear plants even though it has been shown that investment in energy efficient measures is the quickest and fastest way to tackle their energy crises.

4) *How is it possible that nuclear power produces energy faster?

*How long would it take to finish global warming with nuclear power?

*Who created the idea of nuclear power?

*How does it affect the economy?

3) *Solely: exclusively.

*Monetary: financial.

*Scrutiny: examination.

2) *Variation: the topic of the point of view again changes. Now the author refers to nuclear power as a solution to global warming.

*Dénouement: "The external costs of nuclear power include the cost of environmental damage".

1) At the end of the book, we can conclude that all this types of solutions and effects to the global warming have their own point of view. Each one of the opinions is very credible and discussable, this mean their theory could be true or could be just trash. Besides, the different opinions show all the different way of thinking all around the world depending in the conditions. This means that their points of view are based on their surroundings and needs.
