It's a source of energy that lights up our televisions and heats our microwaves. As we explore ways to harness alternative forms of energy, however, the future of nuclear power grows increasingly uncertain. Is nuclear power our best energy alternative, or is it time to pursue other options? <br/><br/> Experts on the "Yes" side: <ul> <li>Nuclear Energy Institute</li> </ul> Experts on the "No" side: <ul> <li>American Coal Council</li> </ul> Fri, 20 Mar 2009 19:44:45 -0500 http://www.opposingviews.com/questions/is-nuclear-power-america-s-best-energy-alternative http://www.opposingviews.com/questions/should-the-us-build-more-coal-fired-power-plants You may not be fond of coal if it's in your Christmas stocking, but some see it as a useful and beneficial source of energy. Recently more energy companies have opted to build coal-burning plants, and experts are debating whether this is a viable solution to our energy needs. They say America runs on coal, but are we running in the right direction? <br/><br/> Experts on the "Yes" side: <ul> <li>American Coal Council</li> </ul> Experts on the "No" side: <ul> <li>Rainforest Action Network</li> </ul> Fri, 20 Mar 2009 19:44:45 -0500 http://www.opposingviews.com/questions/should-the-us-build-more-coal-fired-power-plants http://www.opposingviews.com/questions/should-the-us-allow-offshore-oil-drilling Our lives revolve around oil. Oil brings food to our stores, comprises the fibers in our carpets and makes the plastic in our DVDs. With demand so high it’s no wonder attention has turned to supply, with some advocating the U.S. lift the ban against drilling for oil off its coasts. Is offshore oil drilling a golden opportunity, or would it only create a tidal wave of disaster? <br/><br/> Experts on the "Yes" side: <ul> <li>Kenneth B.
