    Nothing about nuclear energy production is good, sensible and safe! You are dependent on a finite resource, you have to put in an incredible amount of effort to keep it running. Not to mention the damage caused by a malfunction (see Fukushima and Chernobyl).

      What are you even talking about?!?! There is so much uranium in the world. Even if we completely switched over to nuclear power and without improvements in Nuclear tech, our sun would have fizzled out and we still would have uranium left.

      Uranium is more abundant than silver and we don’t need much to power a nuclear reactor.

      I like how people take Fukushima and Chernobyl as examples for disasters. Please go look up how many people have died from those disasters. Please go check. I’ll wait.

      Chernobyl: 2 Fukushima: 0

      Keep in mind that Chernobyl was built in the 50s with 50s tech it never maintained during the USSR era.

      Fukushima did not anticipate a tsunami. Because of the Fukushima disaster we know have new protocols to improve future nuclear builds. If anything Fukushima is a prime example how safe a nuclear reactor can be even when the worst scenario happens.

Uranium is more abundant than silver and we don’t need much to power a nuclear reactor.

        And yet we would still be dependent on an industry, just as we are today on coal, gas and oil.

        As others have already answered: far more people died than you claim here! How much land was made uninhabitable for centuries? How many animals would have to die? How much food would have to be destroyed because it was contaminated? What happens if a tsunami hits an offshore wind farm? They collapse… And then? Do they have to be rebuilt?But you can do that because the land has not been contaminated

        Are you really that dillusional that you think that the only casualties are the people who died in the incident? Hundreds of peoples suffered from cancer and other long term effects alone in chernobyl. The area is still hazardous to people (as some ‘clever’ Russian invaders just proofed two years ago)

        Please go check. I’ll wait.

        PlEaSe Go ChEcK. I’lL wAiT.

        Please just grow up, kiddo

        Furthermore, any energy production that has the potential to injure, harm or kill thousands of people cannot be considered safe. Just because nothing has happened so far.
