    The worst nuclear disaster has led to 1,000sq miles of land being unsafe for human inhabitants.

    Using fossil fuels for power is destroying of the entire planet.

    It’s really not that complicated.

      Except that nuclear isn’t the only, or even the cheapest, alternative to fossil fuels.

      Except that powering the world with nuclear would require thousands of reactors and so much more disasters. This doesn’t even factor the space abandonned to store «normal» toxic materials.

        You mean under ground from where it was dug out?

      Both sound terrible.

      I don’t really want to pick the lessor of two evils when it comes to the energy.

        By not picking, you are picking fossil fuels. Because we can’t fully replace everything with solar/wind yet, and fossil fuels are already being burned as we speak.

          No, give me an option that doesn’t make a part of the world uninhabitable or increases climate change.

          That just a stupid comparison and is there any reason why we can’t also do wind solar thermal hydro also? It’s fossil fuels or nuclear and that’s it?
