Why is the left afraid of nuclear energy?

[Tinkerpeach]

It doesn’t add to climate change, it would massively reduce our reliance on fossil fuels, it would clog up the environment with windmills and solar panels and it’s extremely cheap

So why are you folks on the left against this power supply?

 

[Lionfish]

Because it is low cost and efficient. Lefties hate efficient.

Who's afraid? Ruskies?

Then why isn’t the left pushing for nuclear power if they care so much about climate change?

Do you want the plant in your backyard?

Chernobyl and Fukushima ring any bell?

I wouldn’t care

When was the last time a nuclear plant wiped out a bunch of people in the US?

Chernobyl was built poorly and Japan was stupid for putting it next to the ocean

See now you have a good reason for alternatives.

 

[Hawkeye10]

WOKE is Anti-Human, the suffering is a feature not a bug....there is not enough suffering in nuclear energy.

 

[T. A. Gardner]

Because their knowledge of science and engineering couldn't fill a thimble. They are terrified of what they don't and can't understand.

I guess you prefer hundreds of oil spills to a risk of a radiation leak that’s never happened in the US

So quit bitching about climate change when you ignore an obvious solution

January 6 1961. The SL-1 accident in Idaho. The three technicians present died. Many of the responding personnel to the accident got serious dosages of radiation from it.

How many people dies on oil rigs or in coal mines last year?

Your question, look it up to buttress your thread.

What's that got to do with this thread?

Explain how windmills and solar panels "clog up" the environment?

And of course, you have all the answers on how safe and reliable disposal/storage of all that radioactive waste produced?

Because some guy on the Internet told them to. Seriously.
