Not sure why the awfulness of oil means we have to go for the option that makes the earth uninhabitable if anything goes slightly wrong. False forced choice to satisfy nuke fantasies
- djohnston 5y agoSlightly wrong? Catastrophically wrong. Earth uninhabitable? No, every nuclear plant in the world failing at once wouldn't make 1% of the earth uninhabitable, cut the hyperbole. Nuke fantasies? Vs what, the fantasy that somehow wind and solar are going to be always-on sources of energy? You need a reliable backup, right now it's either fossil fuels or nuclear. The fantasy is thinking that fossil fuels are safer than nuclear - they are not.
- kingkawn 5y agoYes but who is going to sign up to be the ones who end up with uninhabitable earth. You're thinking in generalizations, when always it will end up being in someone's backyard who doesn't want to live with the risk of losing their land for hundreds of years.
