Probably causes less radioactive pollution than fossil fuels. It can’t be a replacement, but we cannot keep using fossil fuels, and our energy needs are too vast to ignore it.
We really should put the breaks on our endlessly accelerating energy needs regardless. Even enough green would eventually warm the planet by waste heat alone. There’s a hard limit that we’ll eventually reach, so we might as well ween ourselves off of this economy based on impossible growth.
Anti-nuclear claims are generally RFK-level woo. And most often used by the fossil fuel industry to support new coal and methane generation.
In that sense no power is safe. Sun will roast you, water will drown you, wind will send you away, coal will choke you, gas will poison you, and thermal will boil you.
I’m sorry but coal is perfectly safe. Weak liberal girly men just can’t handle hard work. My little brother just started working in the mines at the age of 8, and already he’s developed quite the healthy cough
Man if you’d made the wind part and the thermal part rhyme, that sentence would make for a good little poem
Nuclear is safe, it gives you superpowers and thus stronger AND smarter.

“Nuclear is stupid” is to some what “just let people eat what they want” is to hardcore vegans. It instantly causes mayhem and war. I love it.
