There is a world of difference between a modern Gen III+ reactor, and the 1960s design of Fukushima and Chernobyl.
It's like comparing the dangers of doctors using 12th century blood-letting and leeches vs getting an MRI.
- pydry 4y agoThere is a world of difference between a cheap PR offensive that tries to convince the public that nuclear power is now safe and stepping up to shoulder the liability and costs if it is not. So far the industry does a lot of the former and zero of the latter. Hell, the op eds about safety routinely coming from nuclear lobbies dont even acknowledge that taxpayers are 99+% on the hook if they fuck up. Makes me feel even more safe that theyre now lobbying mainly to extend the life of old nuclear plants. What could go wrong?
