Let's wait how Fukushima plays out. If all is fine in the end, maybe the public opinion will also turn.
I don't think this "killing most people" comparison is very useful, there some to be a lot of aspects and details missing from the picture.
- chc 16y agoWhat kinds of "aspects and details" are you thinking of?
- Tichy 16y agoProduction, consumption and disposal of fuels. Is it coal mined in some shoddy third world mine, could things be improved with better technology? (nuclear power received a lot of research money, can the same be said for other power sources?). Environmental impact (oil spills - blame on power plants, or on cars?). Quality of life (just surviving is not enough). Sustainability (nuclear power also seems to be a limited resource). small chance for big damage (nuclear power) vs higher chance for lower damage (fossile fuels). And so on - honestly, I am not an expert on this stuff.
