3. Renewables and battery storage is "forever deadly trash" as well.

As the human population approaches eight billion souls our options have become severely limited. We have to decide which options are the least deadly.

Fossil fuels are the worst.

I oppose large scale wind, solar, and hydroelectric schemes on previously undeveloped land. Solar and wind power are entirely dependent on fossil fuels for their economic viability.

The only thing that Chernobyl proved was that humans going about their ordinary lives are worse for the natural environment than the worst possible nuclear accident.

The only thing Fukushima proved was that it's bad when a tsunami hits a mid twentieth century design nuclear power plant. That tsunami was at least a hundred thousand times worse for the people directly suffering the tsunami impacts than the nuclear spill, most especially the friends and loved ones of the 20,000 who died.
