Example introduction:
There has been much discussion about the use of nuclear power ever since the first reactor was built. People who support nuclear power think that it provides a cheap and effective means of supplying energy needs. However, in reality it is not cheap at all and the dangers are well-known especially after the accident at the nuclear reactors in Japan after the tsunami struck. The fact is that nuclear power is a tried, tested and failed technology. Because of its cost, risk and less safety precautions, the building of nuclear reactors should not be continued.
v In this paragraph, green represent thesis statement. The type for this introductory paragraph is the contrast to the thesis statement.
Example refutation:
Some people might claim that there is no real alternative to a new generation of nuclear reactors. However, combined heat and power units, which generate electricity, are already economical for large houses or blocks of flats and smaller units will be on the market next year. Local generation of electricity eliminates the enormous losses of wasted heat in electricity generation by fossil fuels or nuclear reactors. Wind turbines and solar cells on the roof can also provide home solutions and will become more economical as costs come down with mass production.
