  • Okay, but. How many of those happened? I can think of two. And fukushima was 100% avoidable if it wasn’t for capitalism. They knew it could happen, they knew what to do to avoid it, they were warned multiple times, and did nothing, because why would they spend money to fix that. There are ways to ensure better safety and that this won’t happen, unless something really bad happens. Now, burning coal will always pollute the environment, aggravating global warming and causing death all over the world. Don’t underestimate CO2. Yes, we can research better solutions, we can also research better safety measures and use something that is ready and robust instead of continuing to use coal and oil. The only thing I’m trying to argue here is that nuclear is better and safer than coal/oil plants which cause the most early deaths per unit of energy produced


  • Nuclear fission is not as dangerous as people think it is. Nuclear powerplants are built like fortresses, there are many protocols for safety and a well built and well planned nuclear powerplant will not bring any casualties. The alternative on the other hand (fossil fuels), kills more people every year than nuclear energy in its whole history. If you asked me if I’d rather live next to a nuclear power plant or a coal/oil based thermoelectric, I’d choose the one who gives out a lesser radiation dose, the nuclear powerplant
