Nuclear fission plants generate no pollution.
 
  What will be an ideal response?

Question 2

Explain why it so much more expensive to transmit electricity locally than over long distances. Give as many reasons for this as you can.
 
  What will be an ideal response?

Answer to Question 1

We know that there is no air pollution or water pollution directly, as there would
be from a coal-fired plant, for example, but one would consider the high- and low-level
radioactive waste to be a pollutant. So it would be a misstatement to say there was no
pollution.

Answer to Question 2

Many reasons exist. The voltage is lower, so current is greater and Joule heating
much more important than for long-distance transmission. Wires must be strung
everywhere a customer is instead of along a single right of way, and this involves substantial
expenditure. Substations with expensive transformers and capacitors must be used; these
costs are assigned to local transmission.
