I am convinced that someone has to be paying the nuclear scare people, it is an infinite source of clean safe energy, and the waste is so little, you could shove all of the earths nuclear waste into a singular mine
@SeaSickBeatz
Thousands of people die in oil, gas, and coal extraction a year. Nuclear accidents have only ever killed a few thousand people. Total. People not understand that modern reactors are so well designed that you couldn't actually convert them to a bomb. Fukishima was a minor accident that was the result of the company wanting to save money by not implementing further safety measures, and Chernobyl was the Soviets being obsessed with not being embarrassed. Other than that, its been minor incidents by technicians and scientists making mistakes with poorly designed experiments. Meanwhile we're scrambling to come up with enough emergy production to feed the world.

The United States Navy has been running a 70 year trial of nuclear reactors on ships. Do you really think the United States Navy would choose an unreliable, unsafe, power plant for their most valuable capital ships like aircraft carriers and nuclear submarines? No, the United States Navy chose nuclear reactors because they are the most logical forms of power generation.
@thedabblingwarlock
Fukushima was a combo of user error and two record setting natural disasters. The operators had been warned that an event like what happened in 2011 could knock out power and cause a meltdown because the backup generators were in the basement of the plant which could and did get flooded.
@archiescriven6178
The engineers at Fukushima were gigachad heros, and i'm so mad i can't remember the chef engineers name who told the corperate energy companie to piss off.
@shanehudson3995
It wasn't even user error. The plant was in the middle of being decommissioned.
@DamienDrake2940
The problem isn't with nuclear technology but with the human factor. Cutting corners during construction, improper training, operating at unsafe levels or conditions to meet demand, and improper maintenance. So basically greed, laziness, and stupidity.
@cc-gg6cd
Literally the only reason Fukushima was a problem to the surrounding area is because they stored their spent fuel outside the containment dome. Lessons learned I guess.

A record setting earth quake that CHANGED THE SPEED OF THE EARTHS ROTATION BY A MEASURABLE QUANTITY
@dustinalexander1829
All of the problems with nuclear energy could be solved. By humans, not fucking up and not building radioactive power plants on fault lines.

The Seagram nuclear power plant in New Hampshire produces most of the public electricity for the grid in New England
@Sure_You_Betcha
The Fukushima plant was also constructed in an area it shouldn't have ever been built.
@kylehenline3245
Apparently Fukushima likely would have been fine but the switchgear that allowed them to run that reactors systems independent of the grid were in the basement of one of the buildings. A few years prior to incident Japan's nuclear regulatory agency had actually noted this and recommend it be moved to above the historical flood line. But they don't have any power to enforce stuff they just make recommendations, so nothing was ever done.
@Lancersilva
The reactor in Fukushima was also just not up to regulation. The Japanese government kept telling the company that made it to fix it and bring it up to spec but they elected to ignore it. You know the rest. It was a whole mess of things going wrong but people who most likely failed chemistry in middle school still think that it was the nuclear material that was at fault.
@maquereautin
It was also under maintenance. Every star and planet in 1500 light years aligned that day.
@blueteamepsilon7798
Plus at fukushima, they had been warned multiple times by regulators to increase the size of their flood walls and protection and to relocate the emergency generators, and they just didn't

TFE is the soothsayer of US and world history, he should get an honorary doctorate from Hillsdale.
@theonlytnargmatt
I was part of a school debate project, my teams goal was to argue in favor of nuclear power, i learnt through that that almost all the supposedly negative points about it are complete bullshit.
