"Should we use solar energy instead of nuclear energy?"

Moderator: Isabela Horan
Panelists: Lucy Walter, Ashley Turner, Sola Cooper, Sophie Dawson, Emily Thoma


Lucy: agree
Solar system can save electricity better than nuclear system.
Ashley: agree
Solar system is cheaper than nuclear system in long term, and good for environment.
Sala: agree
Nuclear is harmful and big problem may happen in the future.
Sophie: disagree
Solar system needs large space and it will kill some animals or plants. Then the number of tourists can reduce and we will get damage in nature and economic.
Enily: disagree
Solar system is unstable because it depends on weather. She is a singer so she need big energy for her concerts. We need a lot of money to make solar system.


Isabela "From your occupational point of view, what do you think?"
Sala: She is photographer, and she wants to reserve nature for her photographs. We should stop nuclear energy system and protect our nature.
Sophie: She is an entertainer, so she needs big energy like Emily. Solar energy won't be enough. In addition, Sala said if we introduce solar stem, we can reserve our nature, but she insisted if we build new solar system's building, absolutely the nature will be killed.


Emily "Who pay the cost for solar?"
Sala: Everyone. Everyone use energy so we should pay by tax or charity or something like that.


Audience question "Why are you discussing just only solar energy? There are many ways to get energy."
Group answer: They thought solar system is more popular than other ways. They will talk about other ways someday.


Consensus
Stay nuclear energy system and try to reduce the energy we use until we find better energy system.


I think this consensus is good idea. We need more discussion about other ways to get energy. The moderator was great because she often summarized the panelists' opinion, so we audience could understand their opinion easily. In addition, she arranged thinking time and it was very useful for not only the panelists but also audience to improve this discussion. I wanted the panelists to discuss more each other because they often talked just through the moderator. But I think it was good discussion and I enjoyed this topic.
