Yeah, every single one of those people in Banqiao had to volunteer in order to stop it killing ten times more. Hiding behind victims of other disasters is abso

  Bo one is hiding behind victims of other disasters. What you are doing though is unsubstantiated fear mongering. And I just applied your unsubstantiated fear mongering to a different power source. For some reason you didn't like it.

    What you are doing is called whataboutism. Nobody is arguing for making dams less safe on purpose. Nor are they the topic.

      Don't use terms you don't understand. Here are your words: "If your business model requires hundreds of emergency workers to heroically dive on the grenade once every couple of years to stop the disaster..." I just applied that same fear-mongering reasoning to a power source whose model is quite literally what you described. Not as whatsboutism, but yo show how flawed and weak your readoning is.

        You were trying to deflect when the topic is literally lowering standards until biannual chernobyls are the expectation by bringing up unrelated disasters. Chernobyl being a disaster that was narrowly avoided by thousands of workers shortening or straight up sacrificing their lives to stop it. You're trying to pretend that the USSR's offici numbers about deaths are the worst a disaster could ever get. I'm completely fine with you advocating for a Hydropower Regulatory Commission that holds hydro projects to the same standards by the way, sounds great. Similar for ending coal.
