I've been skeptical that we can make nuclear power safe, too, given the human elements, but global warming has me asking myself which is worse: a Chernobyl every ten years, or a 2ºC rise in global temperatures?
Chernobyl was billed as proof of just how bad nuclear disasters can be, but looking back, we didn't know how good we had it when that was all we had to be afraid of.
- yesenadam 6y agoI suspect you're imagining the Chernobyl happening to someone else, but the 2 degrees rise happening to you (and everyone you know).
- dkarl 6y agoOr I could be thinking of death tolls in the thousands versus in the millions, hundreds of thousands of displaced people versus hundreds of millions.
