The mistake that keeps on keeping on giving.
Man should never have started using it for producing our electric to begin with. It's false promise of cheap, clean and safe never was true.
By accepting that lie as truth we never spent the time and effort in developing other more benign forms of producing our electricity. We were sold a pig in a poke and its coming back to bite us in the ass in so many ways. It did not have to be this way and wouldn't have been this way if not for the Manhattan Project that developed the use of splitting atoms for energy. The bombs were bad enough but when they took it to the next level of using the technology as its used today, to me that was the real mistake.
