Nuclear, if well managed and not allowed to be built by the cheaper and worse contractor, is reliable. Accidents are few, and contained – except chernobyl which was a series of errors. Fukuyama is a case of bad safety and security, cheaper construction.

There might be a problem? Yes. But even an irradiated area will have a thriving ecology, even if humans must leave.

Carbon-based energy results in unavoidable global warming, and the effects actually last much longer and are inescapable. The disaster is not local, it is global.

The brainless short-sighted sheep who feared the possible nuclear wolf guaranteed the arrival of the true predator, global warming.
