funny how germany just decided to close half of their nuclear plants because they're scared of Chernobyl or something

  It's weird how the risk of another Fukushima was successfully downplayed so much. Obviously it's the sole world leader with a PhD in nuclear physics who is only one miscalculated the costs and risks. /s Obviously the fact that 0 insurers would touch a nuclear plant without pushing liability for 99% of the cleanup costs onto the taxpayer doesnt mean it's not 100% safe. Right? If the US nuclear industry's aging plants really were getting safer like they claim wouldnt they be happy to prove it by raising their liability cap a little bit above 0.1% of the cost of fukushima?
