There is a significantly larger land area rendered uninhabitable by coal mining operations. No one seems to care. The impact of all the nuclear disasters combined is negligible in comparison. Wind power renders larger areas unusable just by the fact of covering that area with wind turbines. No one cares. Solar and wind installations devastate wildlife populations. No one cares. Why should we treat nuclear power differently and discard all of its advantages just because worst-case failures can render small land areas unusable, but smaller than other alternatives already do on a regular basis? I'm not even bringing up the fact that there exist modern reactor designs that are provably incapable of failing like this. The comparison is in favour of nuclear even when we're looking at currently rolled out explode'y reactors. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental_impact_of_the_coal_industry https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental_impact_of_the_co... https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-47165522 https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-47165522
