Two students in the debate club are preparing arguments for and against the use of nuclear energy. Each student will have five minutes to present an argument based on scientific evidence the student who supports the use of nuclear energy is considered a proponent of nuclear energy the student who does not support the use of nuclear energy is considered an opponent of nuclear energy. The proponent presents his argument first his argument is based on the following key points. Energy does not emit any greenhouse gases nuclear energy does not contribute to global warming next the opponent presents his argument, which pair of key points is the opponent most likely to use in his argument against the use of nuclear energy.
The opponent is most likely to use the following key points in his argument against the use of nuclear energy:
1. Nuclear accidents can have catastrophic consequences - The opponent may argue that the potential risks associated with nuclear accidents, such as Chernobyl and Fukushima, outweigh the benefits of nuclear energy.
2. The storage of nuclear waste is challenging and poses long-term risks - The opponent may emphasize the issue of radioactive waste disposal and the potential hazards it presents to the environment and public health.
