Disadvantages
Nuclear energy can causes nuclear explosions, and in the process of making electricity, nuclear waste, a toxic liquid is made.
When photovoltaic cells enter the landfill their toxic lead can leak out and will harm the environment. It is also not as reliable on rainy or cloudy days.

How the Energy Makes Electricity
Solar Nuclear
Step one is to mine uranium and put it in metal fuel rods. Then the uranium breaks into smaller elements after crashing into free floating neutrons.
That creates heat, which boils the water under the fuel rod. The water turns into steam, which turns a turbine, that turns on a generator and creates electricity.
How the Energy
Makes Electricity
First, light from the sun reflects off mirrors into a central receiver.Next, the salt in the receiver melts into almost a lava and is transported to the steam drum which will boil the water. After that, steam will spin a turbine and drive a generator and you have electricity. Finally, the original steam circles back into the steam drum and the salt circles back into the central receiver.
