The other problem is that the anti nuke crowd had a point back in the day - they were wrong about Nuclear not being safe theoretically - but they were right about a few asshole corporations doing things too cheaply.
- gitanes 4y agoYeah, I hate that corporation called USSR blowing up Chernobyl.
- baq 4y agothey built too cheaply, ignored safety procedures and blew the thing up in the process. it doesn't matter they were USSR. might as well have been PG&E. soviet people and usa people were both just people and still are.
- phendrenad2 4y agoThe anti-nuclear argument pretty much simplifies to: Nuclear is hard, maintenance needs to be done diligently and regularly, no corners can be cut, and humans are historically really bad to doing ANY of that!

Truly glad we prevented a few assholes corporations from making a mess of things. I get grossed out just thinking about the clean air and normal climate.
