If the area around Fukushima is uninhabitable, then so is Denver. This irrational fear of trivial amounts of ionizing radiation is what prevents us from having abundant energy without emissions of greenhouse gasses. (But I guess that's virtually no benefit.) > the nuclear waste argument Can you see what you're doing here? You don't actually argue, you just pretend there is an argument and it's conclusive. If I tried to argue against that, I'd uselessly spend energy making points you don't care about, and you would claim victory. Oh, that's not what you're doing? The what is the nuclkear waste argument? > it's not so much about rationality as about fear You need it to be about fear, because you don't have a rational argument.
