Speaker A: We should build more nuclear power plants. They deliver a high volume of energy with zero carbon emissions, which makes them the best available solution to climate change. Speaker B: Nuclear power is indeed carbon-free, but it generates toxic waste that stays dangerous for thousands of years. The hazard this poses to future generations far outweighs whatever short-term climate benefits it offers.
Speaker A and Speaker B are committed to agreeing on which one of the following?
- Generating electricity from nuclear plants does not release carbon into the atmosphere.
- The toxic waste produced by nuclear power plants can reliably be managed quite safely.
- Constructing additional nuclear plants would fully resolve the present energy crisis.
- Nuclear power presently represents the single best available response to climate change.
- The dangers nuclear power poses to future generations outweigh its near-term climate benefits.
