Why would you not want a nuclear power plant near you? I would love to live by one.
- metamet 2y agoI lived by one growing up and have a friend who works at the same plant now. We got a subsidy for living within 10 miles. I don't know the details, but basically a "hey sorry if things go wrong" check. The one thing with nuclear that many people seem to either not be aware of under play is the thermal pollution. The heat generated and pumped into the rivers does some gnarly stuff, including affecting the o2 and ph of the water, drastically changing the ecosystem in the area.
