I don't feel it's honest to try to discuss the pros and cons of a technology by cherry picking the cons that we can strawman out of the equation while purposely ignoring real-world examples of major cons.
If anyone wants to argue in favour of nuclear power them they need to face the questions presented by Chernobyl, Fukushima, and others.

- bondarchuk 5y agoThis whole thread is clearly and explicitly about nuclear waste. If you want to discuss some other aspect of nuclear power you're welcome to do so, but please don't accuse people of being dishonest just because they are sticking to the subject of conversation.

The topic was nuclear waste, specifically, and it's complicated and contested enough. Nobody argued that it's the only problem with nuclear. Adding confusion to the topic in support of some agenda is simply bad form.
