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

- illiarian 4y agoDon'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.
- Schroedingersat 4y agoYou 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.
