Keep them, but calling them "clean" is pure grade A bullshit. Sure, they're "cleaner" but they are absolutely not clean, yielding a waste product that stays a danger to every single living thing near it for tens of thousands of years.
- Ygg2 9y agoIt has fewest deaths per TWh, and zero carbon emissions. It's safest the same way, airplane is safest form of transportation.
- TheRealPomax 9y agoPretty sure solar, wind, and hydro have fewer deaths per terawatthour, which also happens to be an absolute nonsense x/y plot to be looking at. I am 100% pro nuclear power, but I'd love to see proper new approaches that don't lead to barrels of radiating waste that transporters seem to keep fucking losing, or dump in the ocean, or do any number of illegal other things with. I prefer to stay grounded in reality and look at the entire pipeline rather than naively just looking at what happens after the plant's been built, and only looking at the plant's site and not a millimeter beyond its perimeter.
