Nuclear vs fossil fuels pretty much boils down to this:
Nuclear - you might have a big pollution incident at some point
Fossil - you have a continuous pollution incident every minute of every day
Which is worse?
- Krssst 4y agoAlso big incidents would they happen would still have a regionally limited impact while climate change affects the entire planet.
- credit_guy 4y agoThat's a false dilemma. You can control both. You can take measures to reduce the probability of a nuclear accident, and the impact of a nuclear accident if it were to happen. You can also take measures to reduce the continuous pollution coming from fossil fuels. Depending on which measures you implement, how stringent they are, and how strictly they are enforced, either nuclear or fossil-based power plants may come ahead.
