Activist: Accidents at the Three Mile Island and Chernobyl nuclear plants have shown the dangers of nuclear power  It was earlier argued that nuclear power was necessary because fossil fuels will eventually run out  Recently, however, a technology has been developed for deriving from sewage sludge an oil that can be used to generate power
This new technology, ttherefore, together with the possibility of using alternative sources of energy like solar, wind, and hydroelectric power, raises the hope that we can dispense altogether with nuclear power and that we can meet our energy needs in a way that better protects the environment from harm than we do at present
whether the processes that are used to turn sewage into clean water and sewage sludge have been improved in recent decades
