Nuclear power seems to be one of those subjects where people with very limited knowledge are OK with it, people with some knowledge are terrified of it, and people with more advanced knowledge are back to being OK with it. At the very least, there should be a campaign to maintain our % energy production level of nuclear power by replacing older generation facilities with new. Also: Michio Kaku is dumb.

crazy cloud posted:turn on your monitor It's night time and the local renewable power storage has already been depleted, turning on my monitor would spool up a coal fire and accelerate climate change. I'd rather have a slightly irradiated planet than a complete collapse of civilization as we know it.

And 2002 probably doesn't line up with when Germany started its campaign to end nuclear.

Depends on their reasoning. If they just say "atoms are scary", that isn't really science. I'm all for solar, thermal, tidal, etc, and for improvements to the power distribution and storage systems to address issues of utilizing fossil fuels, but I don't think we can get all of that online soon enough to prevent disruptive environmental changes. If their reason is purely from a risk of radioactive contamination of the planet, then we simply aren't agreeing on what the true risk is and/or what an acceptable level of risk is.

wasn't it that the Fukushima backup generators were at or below ground level, flooded by the tsunami, and that the loss of power allowed the core to overheat?

Welp, a few people may have had an increased risk of thyroid cancer. We better not chance this any more, no matter what.
