      Do you mean nuclear power plants specifically? Nuclear power is the safest and most efficient type of energy generation that we have unfortunately when it goes wrong it causes major disasters like chernobyl and after the earthquake in Japan last year.

      I hope there will be no need for power plants in the future as renewable energy will have taken over from nuclear and fossil fuels.
