Okay, so your argument for not making nuclear safe is that coal kills a lot of people? Nice one, that's about as sound of an argument as killing somebody and then saying the military kills more people so what's the big deal.
- ajuc 7y agoMisleading analogy. You don't need to murder people, so the alternative to murdering someone is not murdering anyone. You need baseload power anyway, so you have to choose some way to generate power. Nuclear kills the least number of people per MWh. So not choosing nuclear kills people and choosing nuclear saves people. Even if you decided to return to the pre-industrial era and not generate power at all - that would kill even more people, so going nuclear is still better. You need to look at alternative costs when comparing your options, you cannot just look at bad sides of one option and good sides of the other.
