    What?

    Coal is far, far, far worse than nuclear, even in terms in radiation.

    If we replaced all coal plants with nuclear power we would hugely reduce the ammount of Co2 and radiation released.

      I meant in terms of if an accident happens.

      On all other points i agree completely.

        If an accident happens, it won’t be the end of the world, at worst a relatively limited area will need to be closed to humans for a temporary time.

        Globally it is not a big deal, compare that to cooking the entrie planet, I’d gladly take a few more exclusion zones if that enavled us to get rid of all coal plants.

        There is also another point to this, nature is thriving in the Chernobyl exclusion zone.
