Yes, chernobyl was fairly harmless, just like Fukushima. Wild life in both is thriving despite the fact that the mainstream media said the radiation was so bad nothing would be able to live there. Reality doesn’t back up any of those assertions at all. Villages near fukushima ignored the dire warnings and are just fine.
If this is surprising then you need to diversify your media news consumption.
Rooftop solar is more deadly than nuclear when you count people falling off of roofs during solar installation as “solar deaths”, otherwise it’s safer.

- Elyra 4y agoThis feels like a variation of the trolly problem where currently we're on one that's killing millions (fossil fuels), and everyone is afraid to pull the lever for one that kills a handful because it has the unreasonable requirement of needing to be perfect (nuclear).
- zackees 4y agoYes, and the media companies exploited it to prevent Nuclear energy thus precipitating the CO2 crisis being reported by the media today.
