Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Nuclear power plants experienced the most growth during the 1970s and 1980s, but have since seen a decline in construction and expansion. They still supply a significant portion of U.S. electricity, but their overall share has decreased in recent years. They were first developed commercially in the 1950s, not the early 1990s. They do not produce greenhouse gas emissions, but do produce radioactive waste. While nuclear power has faced opposition and legal challenges in some countries, it is not illegal in France or Lithuania.
