This needs to be said, and I’m glad Vox is finally saying it. The nearly 100ish nuclear power plants in the US generate almost 1/5 of the total electricity output. It irks me beyond belief when environmentalists try to close them down just for existing. There have not been any major incidents in the US (apart from Three Mile Island), and if Congress got its shit together and sacrificed a single mountain in Nevada for waste disposal we could finally stop all of the actual damage that the coal/oil industry has inflicted over generations.
- kapauldo 8y agoDon't be so irked. There are tons and tons of nuclear waste being stored on site. Nuclear energy is 90% solved but not 100%. Once the waste solution is solved your point will be much more valid, but don't discount the storage problem. It's a ticking time bomb.
