Turkey Point: More Questions Than Answers? We would have to answer two classmates. I will attach my discussion board, so you can use it as a guide.After you have posted, you must respond to at least two of your classmates right there on the discussion thread. For each of the two classmates, you respond to, address at least two of the questions they have posted. This is worth 4 points (2 pts each).A response needs to be something substantial and contribute something significant to the conversation, not just saying “Good job.” or ” I like how you explained …”. Say something original and significant. Contribute some information, describe an example, share an experience, ask a thoughtful question, etc. If you are asked a thoughtful question, part of your significant response can be providing an intelligible response to that question. Each response should be at least a paragraph in length, that is, at minimum, 4-5 full sentences. Each response post is worth 2 points.Classmate #1:Question 1: If the Biscayne Aquifer is being contaminated with waste from FPLs nuclear reactors, how will FPL be able to reimburse the citizens of South Florida and the Florida tourism industry?Reason 1: Seeing as FPL has a history of trying to pass off expenses like these on to their customers, it would be nice to know how they plan to compensate everyone in the future. Contaminated drinking water will devastate the South Florida community that relies on it every day. People will have to pay more for clean water to drink and cook with. Also, the tourism market will take a tremendous hit because people will not want to visit areas with water contaminated by radioactive wastes. Question 2: Why would FPL expect their customers to pay for cleaning up their mess, especially considering the customers are the ones most negatively affected?Reason 2: Large corporations should not be able to pass along spending such as this to their customers. FPL is still earning profits, and people need affordable energy. It is greedy for them to consider having their customers compensate them for their loss. This move by FPL would be hard to make in other industries, and it is a tactic that they continue to use. FPL should pay for all the damages that they caused on their own (Cavros). Question 3: Why is FPL planning to build two nuclear reactors in an area that is so low and close to the shoreline, while sea levels are rising?Reason 3: Radioactive waste can take over 1000 years to become safe. There is no way FPL can guarantee that the wastes from these reactors, as well as the reactors themselves, will not be harmful to future generations of people and wildlife. If the reactors and wastes are under water in the future, they could devastate the aquatic life (Iannelli). Question 4: Why is FPL building more nuclear reactors in an area that already has a growing plume underground, which is a threat to our supply of drinking water?Reason 4: It is unreasonable to build more nuclear reactors when the threat posed by the existing reactors is already out of hand. The problem FPL has already created should be dealt with before plans to build more reactors are considered (Klas). Question 5: Why isnt FPL devoting more resources to alternative energy sources instead of these expensive nuclear reactors?Reason 5: The nuclear reactors that FPL wants to build are highly debated and thus have seen multiple delays. The costs to build these reactors is increasing while alternatives are becoming more cost effective. It would make sense for FPL to invest in alternatives that are more widely accepted by people and are cheaper to get started. Question 6: Why should the customers of FPL trust them when they have shown themselves to be untrustworthy?Reason 6: FPL is claiming they will monitor the waste generated at their new reactors. The problem is that they have already proven to be unreliable at detecting these sorts of issues in a timely manner. It is in their best interest to keep information that damages their company from the public’s view. The customers of FPL have very little reason to trust that they will monitor the waste appropriately. Works CitedCavros, George. FPL Pollutes and Loots at Turkey Point … Guest Blog by George Cavros.

FPL Postpones Turkey Point Nuclear Expansion – Miami Herald. Miami Herald, Miami Herald, 19 May 2016, https://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/community/miami-dade/article78187457.html.Classmate #2:Q.1 Why should waste not be stored underground?A.1The stored underground waste has a negative impact on the quality of aquafers (Underground Water) which will eventually affects our clean water resources in the future.Q.2 Is building two new nuclear plants will be of great benefit to the community?A.2 Although the new forms will provide job opportunities to thousands of new employees. However, it will eventually harm the whole city. By the increase of the use of natural resources will eventually increase the disposal of their waste product.Q.3 Does PFL recycled water contain all the minerals needed for personal or natural good?A.3 FPL states that their water resource is from Miami-Dade municipal water supply and claims that they run the water through the process to make it suitable for their nuclear and machines. Also, they state that after the water is heated it will be replaced and go through a cooling process for two days before its released back to reuse. However, they never mention anything about the quality of the water and if it is still having the minerals for preserving life.Q.4 How important the Turkey Point Nuclear is to the community?A.4 The FPL claims that they provide electricity to over 450,000 Floridian costumer. And with the increase of population in the state they will be increasing their service as needed. But they never mention any other alternatives other than increasing their nuclear reactors.Q.5 How safe the FPL Turkey Point is?A.5 Representatives of the Turkey Points claim that the site is the safest among many other same types of facilities. However, history shows that in many locations around the world by humans, mechanical failure could cause a catastrophe. Examples: April 1986, Chernobyl Nuclear plants, Ukraine, and lately in March 2011 Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant. These accidents show that there are no guarantees that nuclear plant is one hundred percent safe, especially in the case of natural disasters.Q.6 Do we have other resources, Is FPL is our only option for energy resources?A.6 With all the technology that exists in the 21st century. Scientists have discovered many other resources for energy and in fact, some countries around the globe have already started using these methods of alternative energy sources. The new resources are not only safer for the human, but it takes under consideration the nature and it converts its natural power to generate electricity. Some of these methods are, solar and wind turbines, which are very convenient to benefit from our atmospheric environment in Florida.
