All in all, nuclear is another fossil fuel

Just want to correct it is definitely NOT a fossil fuel.

Unless...

What are you talking about? Airplanes do have a bad rep. More people are scared of getting into them because they think it will crash than there are people scared of getting into cars. It’s the same with nuclear. The events are big when they happen, but it’s overall very safe. What’s more, airplane crashes have killed many, many more people and they have crashed much more often than there have been NPP accidents or deaths. So, if you want to call airplanes

incredibly safe

you might want to reconsider your stance on NPPs.

if one occasionally crashes the death toll is generally limited to the passengers.

And if NPP accidents occur, the death toll is generally limited to the workers.

the list of nuclear and radiation accidents is quite long

The list for NPP accidents is actually not that long, especially when compared to airplane accidents, and it stops at 2011. That’s 15 years ago and Fukushima caused only one possible death. There have been no signs of increased cancer rates in the 15 years afterwards. What’s more, after each major event—after Chernobyl and again after Fukushima—measures have been taken to prevent these events from happening again.

As for Chernobyl, you can debate the numbers, but it doesn’t mean anything for modern nuclear power plants in the west, since the Soviets built a reactor with an inherently unsafe design that isn’t used anywhere in the west. So, using the airplane analogy again, that would be like saying flying on an airplane is unsafe because of the Hindenburg disaster.

As for uranium: Australia and Canada have uranium reserves that dwarf Russia’s. Storage of waste is not as much of an issue either. Old mines go down kilometers into the earth.

So while yes, nuclear powerhas its downsides, nuclear is the only form green energy that provides base load power. If you want to transition away from fossil fuel there is no way to provide base load power without nuclear. Battery storage scales very poorly and we already can’t mine enough lithium and cobalt to power all cars with electricity, let alone having battery storage for all electric grids worldwide.

It may seem scary and accidents happen, but like I said, it just has a bad rep like airplanes do.

The numbers are not propaganda and the only propaganda I am seeing is coming from you. You haven’t made a single valid point and have been fear mongering about deaths and accidents that rarely occur.

Fingers crossed!

One of the things that rarely get mentioned is the way uranium gets mined, almost always next to poor and marginalized people, leaving disease and unlivable places. Something that doesn't get included In the .gov stats ofcourse.

Lmao no it won't be, have you been hiding under a rock?

More often than now can still be rare.

You also don’t need to resort to attacking your opponent to try and make a point. The only thing you succeed in is making yourself look like someone who doesn’t actually have a point and needs to use logical fallacies to try to get anywhere.

I tried to keep things scientific, but your response just seems like an emotional knee-jerk reaction to me.
