I am very familiar with the details of Fukushima, the prevalence of natural radiation, and the health risks of alternatives. I again believe it is entirely dishonest to call fear of nuclear power irrational. Was it a mistake for Germany and Japan to shift generation away from nuclear? Yes IMO. But it's absurd to call an event that required mass evacuation harmless.

Fear is not binary. Yes of course fear of nuclear power is rational, but so if fear of cows, cars and a lot of other stuff. The amount of fear that exists is competently out of proportion to the real problem.
