1. This is a great example of all that is wrong with nuclear power.

Massive investment that goes wrong in a disastrous way, making the people want to get rid of nuclear. Carbon emissions and energy costs skyrocket because no one wants nuclear plants to reopen.

Now, imagine that on a global scale if the nuclear industry gets its way.
