> If you compare it to transportation it is a bit like flying: its the safest way and it has many other upsides, but when it goes wrong it's usually catastrophic. With nuclear power even more so. But flying is still the safest way to travel, despite a few tragic accidents. This logic doesn't make any sense. > When a nuclear accident happens a large area can be rendered uninhabitable for a period longer than the written history of the world. Chernobyl exclusion zone is roughly 50x50km and life is actually flourishing in there. You can see it as a tiny natural reserve which are numerous on earth and are generally seen as a good thing.
