“Re: Let’s start by pointing out that in Three Mile Island nobody was killed or injured.” I live not too far from Three Mile Island, so please don’t lecture me on how safe that accident supposedly was. “
You mean only people who live next to TMI are knowledge about nuclear power?
So you’ve lived for years near a nuclear power plant, and you are safe? don’t glow in the dark? Who’d a thunk!
“I would much rather have fields full of solar panels than 1 nuclear power plant near me. “
well then, move to the arizona desert. Putting solar panels in arable land in ofen-cloudy PA is a waste of good real estate. it will never happen.
You would need 4,000 plants of the type described below to equate to 1 Three Mile Island.
8,000,000 MWh from TMI vs 2,000 MWh from this plant.

It would take up 10,000 acres or about 18 square miles.
