Energy is dangerous (mechanical, chemical, etc.) and produces waste. And great power requires great responsibility. "Safety" can be seen thru different lenses.

I am wondering if the fear of nuclear is greater than the actual risk. https://what-if.xkcd.com/29/ https://what-if.xkcd.com/29/ https://xkcd.com/radiation/ https://xkcd.com/radiation/
