Ya, but the challenge, and I say that as a supporter of Nuclear in general, is that you don't sign up for the experiment. If you're in the radius of the plant if it were to fail, you might be wary of it.
- pitaj 6y agoPeople don't sign up for pollution from fossil fuels either.
- kcmastrpc 6y agoYes, they do. If you drive a car, heat your home via gas/electricity, use the internet (to post this) -- you signed up for it.
- pitaj 6y agoOkay then by the same logic people do sign up for nuclear by using the electricity for their homes, the internet, etc
- oblio 6y agoThat's not how it works :-) I don't smoke but until they started banning smoking everywhere, plenty of people would sign me up for passive smoking without asking me anything.
- kergonath 6y agoHow so? Do the particulates and aerosols avoid me breathing them in because I don’t drive a car and use electric heating? How does it work? Pollution from fossil fuel is unavoidable in quite a lot of places regardless of your life style. Also, much more deadly than anything related to nuclear so far.
- didibus 6y agoIt's an emotional response though, like how there are still more people with a parallizing fear of flight that don't have a problem hopping into a car. Like I said, I'm not justifying being against Nuclear, but explaining the challenge with Nuclear's general acceptance, there is a fear response from people, and it'll need to be curbed and addressed. That fear response is due to the grandiose nature of a Nuclear failure which fossil fuel don't have, even if they kill you slowly and might lead to world ending catastrophies.
