Would you like to move into the Chernobyl zone? Be my guest.

Even once you give it the whitewash, nuclear power's supposed safety record over a short period of a few decades is irrelevant compared to the proven risks of rendering large areas uninhabitable for thousands of years.

It's important, when that's brought up, that you immediately reach for the ludicrous false dichotomy of pretending hydrocarbon is the only alternative to nuclear, that the only choice over the next few decades is more MTR coal or more sooner-or-later Fukushima.

And thanks for whatever the convoluted sentence is supposed to mean that seems to include "wind & solar" as a sub-category of "natural gas." Sounds about right.
