Every time I'm in a thread about nuclear power it's the same shit.
Y'all really have no fuckin clue how much safer it is than fossil fuels. But go ahead and keep letting the oil industry convince you otherwise.
whats your problem? who said we want to keep using fossil fuels forever? to me, the thing about nuclear power is its waste products and the timescales on which that degrades into something less but still as dangerous as before slow clap
did you know? getting insurance for a nuclear power plant is possible! but you might as well build a new nuclear power plant every year to spend that money more wisely... source some german paper: https://www.spiegel.de/wissenschaft/kernkraft-ist-nachhaltig-nachhaltig-unversicherbar-a-f6d8ef67-4f51-4697-965a-add0480ca712
we need to get off fossil fuels and nuclear fuels are one of them.
i mean sure, choose a timescale large enough and even the sun becomes a fossil fuel, but thats silly: sipping-off-the-suns-emissions itself, the operation of solar panels is not really degrading anybodies quality of life, except perhaps those who might look down onto now reflecting rooftops... making them is of course power consuming, but we are making stuff that makes power which takes power... and instead of just nodding at each other and chugging along we start bickering about the not tasty, not smelly stuff that makes your hair fall out all funny like...and ogle at it? wtf?
but ok you know what?: sure but only if you are personally responsible to have that thing in your backyard and fix it when it inevitably shits itself. also: garbage days are all yours now
the waste products are a non issue. Even if we chucked the waste products of every power plant into hospitals for terminally ill orphans who have nobel prizes the damage would not even come close to a hundredth of the damage coal and oil have caused already. Waste products are put into water until they become stable enough to be disposed of. Its not dangerous
The unholy trinity of "environmentalists", lobbying and the fossil fuel industry.

It's safer but much more expensive to install and administer.
I think you replied to the wrong person.
No it was meant as a general summary of the comment sections on posts like these.
They're always filled with people acting like nuclear power is the most dangerous way of generating energy despite all scientific data showing pretty much the opposite. Fossil fuels are more dangerous than every other type of energy combined.
Nuclear's solution for permanent waste is to bury it and hope the future can get rid of it. I'm tired of pushing current problems onto future generations. Yes nuclear is safer than fossil fuels, but it's not perfect.
No it's not perfect but halting any progress because of potential problems is stupid when the current method is doing so much more harm.
