In the world today, many countries, especially big, heavily industrialized nations rely on nuclear power to satisfy their country’s energy needs. Such nations require huge amounts of energy to run their country. Various
consumers of energy and electricity include industries, residences, commercial establishments, military assets, governmental buildings, agriculture, transport and so on.
Massive usage of electricity on developed country.
Especially in extremely populated countries, there are in extremely high demand. The bitter truth is, it is just not possible to fill in such a high demand with just conventional sources of energy, countries look toward unconventional sources of energy such as solar, wind and nuclear energy. The yield of solar and wind energy is not that high. Nuclear energy is the answer for sustainable electric source in the future.
The reason why nuclear energy is important for future energy consumption is
1) Nuclear reaction release tremendous amounts of energy. Nuclear energy is so immense that one nuclear plant may provide electricity for a really large area. Thus it is important to have nuclear reactor to sustain future energy demand. This will be a stepping stone for a country such as Malaysia to be recognized as a developed country.
2) Nuclear energy doesn't emit anything into the atmosphere like polluted air, smoke or anything of that sort. France, which has embraced nuclear power has some of the most cleanest air in the world. this is mostly because of the heavy use of nuclear energy and minimum dependence of coal or oil based power plants. Future energy demand will be so demanding that it will be a major concern on the environment if we keep on using fossil fuel as our main source of energy and Malaysia need to take part in preserving the global environment.
