Well. Here's the real question. When a natural disaster coupled with a human engineering disaster causes massive loss of life, destruction of property, and land rendered dangerous and uninhabitable, why is it that blame concentrates exclusively on nuclear power compared to other alternatives? Coal power causes millions of deaths a year. It causes hazardous living conditions in some of the most populous cities in the world. The coal power industry depends on mining which endangers the lives of miners, with many deaths every year, and wrecks the environment. There are huge swaths of land that are barren and uninhabitable. There are giant piles of mine tailings and giant lakes of sludge scattered around the world. Nobody lives on that land, nobody can because it's contaminated and dangerous. There are places in the US where the risk of dying due to the effects of coal power are 4x higher than the national average murder rate. And there are places around the world where it's much, much worse. The difference between nuclear power and other sources of power or other engineer works is mostly that the hazards of nuclear power are still seen as unusual and frightening, whereas we've simply grown comfortable with those of other forms of power.
