But the document you cited as evidence of a failure for renewable energy was no such thing. It is, however, one more item on a long list of why nuclear energy is a bad investment for decarbonizing the world.

If we build 5000 more reactors and a major economic/population center is taken out by a Chernobyl/Fukushima level event what do you think it would do to the climate value of that investment?
