    Hi i was a nuclear mechanic, and that’s not how it works. I’m on the toilet so I’m not gonna explain it now. Arm chair expert, uninformed opinions like this are part of the reason we’re stuck on fossil fuels to begin with.

    Everyone brings up Chernobyl like almost 4 entire decades of scientific advancement just didn’t happen.

      I was a nuclear plant owner and that’s not how it doesn’t work. I too have a toilet related reason why I won’t contribute meaningfully to this discussion.

      The reason we’re stuck on fossil fuels isn’t just because of the people’s opinions. The main reason is the same as for most other major problems: money.

      The problem is not science, the problem is not tech, the problem is people, making decisions, like making Fukushima’s sea barriers 3 or 4 meters shorter than worse case scenario because money. Nuclear can be safe. People and money make it unsafe.
