"Like all energy sources, nuclear power has advantages and disadvantages. I feel the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages. First and foremost, since it produces energy via nuclear fission rather than chemical burning, it generates baseload electricity with no output of carbon, the most concerning element of global warming. Also, nuclear power releases less radiation into the environment than any other major energy source."

Some opinion questions might seek to measure where you stand on issues in the workplace or your industry. These questions require a measured response that exhibits your foresight and demonstrates your awareness and knowledge of current business-related trends and events. Show your interviewer you understand the industry, even if you don't have a lot of professional experience.
