So yes, nuclear should be regulated, and even overregulated to keep it safe.
Here's what overregulation of nuclear power has done for us over the past several decades: "We can't risk releasing radioactive pollution in an accident, so we'll build coal plants that spew it into the air during normal operation instead."
- whoknowsidont 11mo agoSounds like the other systems are under regulated.
- janc_ 11mo agoMany countries shut down all their coal plants over a decade ago. Why didn't yours?
- CamperBob2 11mo agoBecause Greenpeace and other powerful lobby groups convinced Americans that nuclear power was more dangerous than fossil fuels. I'm not one of those tinfoil hatters who rants about how the anti-nuclear movement was seeded and sponsored by the Soviets... but I will say that if they didn't do that, they overlooked some of the most useful idiots at their disposal.
