A plant blew up one time due to being poorly mismanaged and an earthquake broke another one. Meanwhile nothing bad has ever happened in the history of non-nuclear power generation. /s

I never said that nothing bad has happened with nuclear power.

Nuclear disasters are local, the ongoing climate change disaster powered by coal plants (which let our a hell of a lot more radiation than nuclear plants) is global.

I'll take a local disaster any day over a global disaster

Ofc! Oil gas and coal ONLY burn when placed in a funace. Attempt to light it on fire anywhere else and it will know and refuse catch fire. Its a safety feature. /s

With nuclear, you cant reason with it! Thats why we have to keep the brightest minds around th facility, to trick it into stopping via reverse psycology. /s

Centralia became a portal to hell... and they are claimimg it's burning coal. SMH! /s
