Breathing coal may not be as bad as the radiation one might get in a full-scale meltdown but it's a lot worse than what one gets when the nuke plant isn't.
And getting that coal is more dangerous to workers than keeping a reactor running and it's more likely to turn a community into a wasteland than a nuke plant.
I was going to compare Centralia to Harrisburg (Three Mile Island) but then Harrisburg is a wasteland too but not because of TMI but because of Democrats
I'll grant that a 9 magnitude earthquake followed by a 30-foot tsunami is more destructive to a community than coal power.
We’ve regulated ourselves into danger. We’re using old technology because building new modern energy generation plants is virtually impossible.
Instead Obozo wants to blow money on “smart grid” tech that doesn’t mean crap if a 50 year old power plant fails.
