But there was no actual comparison. The post was pointing out how the safety was not good enough, not that it was less safe than fossil fuels. Not everyone is comfortable with a nuclear power plant in their back yard. So I guess you’re perfectly fine with the current level of nuclear power regulation and safety? Good. The rest of the public is not for the reasons stated.
The rest of the public has been manipulated by oil barons who constantly push these fear mongering talking points.
It is safer in every way.
You act like Homer Simpson is real and that’s how nuclear power plants operate. In the modern age unless it’s just gross incompetence it’s been safer for decades.
Oh and if you want those safety regulations to ever get better you have to keep putting money into them. You’re not gonna get progress by ignoring them.
In fact that’s the only reason nuclear power isn’t more prevalent because the average citizen is so blinded by oil propaganda they refuse anything to do with it.
Fossil fuels will always be something to compare to as long as Coal generates electricity, the majority of cars run on petroleum, and housing is warmed by gas
None. Please go back and read the thread. It wasn’t about an actual comparison, even though you and others seen to perseverate on the “fucking” comparison.
You: hey fuckin moron, I want you to talk about this thing that you didn’t bring up and specifically stated your comment was not about. Stop getting upset that I keep talking about it!!
Me: yeah I don’t want to hear about your hamster porn addiction either. STFU and have your “legitimate conversation” with someone else.
It’s maddening that you are getting downvotes. Are they from ignorance or bad actors? Because who would downvote a true statement about SAFETY, FFS?
Because the environmental damage caused by the largest nuclear disasters in history is still nothing like the damage from fossil fuels.
Not just that but the fossil fuel industry’s history is full of much worse disasters than any nuclear plant.
If you were to truly compare them based just off safety it’s no contest. Nuclear power is cleaner and safer

I’ll type it for the third time in this thread: But there was no actual comparison.
And there are 2 more important reasons to table new nuclear plant development.

lol. I’ve said now 4 times this is not about nuclear vs fossil fuels. It’s hilarious the perseveration on this.
Nuclear is dead. Accept it and move on to fixing the problems with renewables. There are 2 fantastic reasons to avoid nuclear.

At least in the US the number of applications for nuclear plant construction has dropped 75%.
2 million people die every year from coal emissions. Nuclear weapons haven’t even killed that many.
“But there was no actual comparison.” I’m typing it again because it seems you missed that part.
What fucking comparison are you looking for?
None. Please go back and read the thread. It wasn’t about an actual comparison, even though you and others seen to perseverate on the “fucking” comparison.
So you’re butthurt that people tried to make it a legitimate conversation?
Jesus Christ lemmy has some fuckin morons

Sadly thats the problem with the internet. Everyone is an expert, very few have met people in the industry as I had in the past.
