    I mean it’s not the companies operating the facilities we put our trust in, but the outside regulators whose job it is to ensure these facilities are safe and meet a certain standard. As well as the engineers and scientists that design these systems.

    Nuclear power isn’t 100% safe or risk-free, but it’s hella effective and leaps and bounds better than fossil fuels. We can embrace nuclear, renewables and fossil free methods, or just continue burning the world.

      The worst nuclear disaster has led to 1,000sq miles of land being unsafe for human inhabitants.

      Using fossil fuels for power is destroying of the entire planet.

      It’s really not that complicated.

        Both sound terrible.

        I don’t really want to pick the lessor of two evils when it comes to the energy.
