"Safe". Yeah. Let's talk about Chernobyl, Three Mile Island and Fukushima. All that was kinda not so safe, don't you think?
Comparatively speaking, it's safer than coal mining. Wikipedia Nuclear Accidents by Death Toll
Mining Accidents
This is just so fucking dumb. Yeah coal sucks. We should get rid of coal as quickly as possible. But saying nuclear is safer than coal while ignoring all other forms of energy that are orders of magnitude safer is as disingenuous as it gets.
Nuclear power is actually safer than almost everything, period. Even with the major accidents. Yes, even renewables and other "green" energy.
