> Do you have any idea what a large scale nuclear disaster could cause in a densely populated Europe? Depends, what type of plant? Plenty of nuclear plant designs that just drop the rods into a water bath and halt all activity. Do you realize what types of health impacts gas leaks are having on densely populated regions right now? Or how about fracking destroying drinking water? Higher cancer and birth defect rates for surrounding communities. > How close Japan brush with disaster as the Fukushima fallout could have hit the Tokyo region? The amount of fallout from Fukushima was obscenely minuscule. The worst case estimates, by the most pessimistic naysayers, 130 extra deaths will result from the accident. The most commonly agreed upon estimates, 0 additional deaths. Meanwhile, 13k people dead minimum from coal in America each year. No one even tracks the impact from the literal thousands of natural gas leaks that are ongoing. [1] is a nice visualization of natural gas incidents from 2010 to 2017. Fukushima was a worst case scenario with massive mismanagement on multiple levels, and the sum environmental impact was less than any of the multiple of oil tanker spills that happen, quite literally, multiple times a year.
