Nuclear power is the most regulated, tightly monitored, professionally trained, source of power.

The welders have the highest industry standards:

The plant operators are extremely well selected and trained:

Just because you say something or you feel it to be true, does not make it so. Repeating it does not make it true. Saying things louder does not make it true. Having a celebrity endorse it, does not make it true. Having a Netflix special or movie about it, does not necessarily make it true...I’m sorry, but this isn’t science: https://i.imgflip.com/7j3x8a.jpg
Mining in the US had a spectacular last year, only 10 people died in coal mines: https://arlweb.msha.gov/stats/centurystats/coalstats.asp. That is more than what died at or because of Fukushima!!!
It always goes back to one simple concept. You expect nuclear power to be perfect and any negative aspect or mistake is to much, but if hundreds die from cancer, asthma, coal mine accidents combined in the coal and gas industry you simply accept that as normal.
Now, let’s talk about so called “green” power. Do you think the plants in China where most solar panels are made meet US EPA or OSHA standards? Panels are energy intense to make, do you think China has the cleanest power?
Do you think most mines in Africa where cadmium for batteries come from meet EPA, mine safety and OSHA standards?

Do you think that most places in China, Africa, where they strip mine (tear the shit out of the environment) for lithium meet EPA or OSHA standards? Even in the US what do you think they do when they mine for Lithium? https://twitter.com/PeeheeMuhuh/status/1445844987858472962/photo/1
But it has the label “green.”
There is no perfect answer. But nuclear is the best answer we have today.
Just not going to read your posts...not worth my time.
