Well, when America was great, hurricanes like the Great Galveston Hurricane were able to launch surprise attacks. We're getting rid of NOAA to make that happen again. What's better than a nuke plant getting hit by a hurricane? A nuke plant getting hit without preparing to get hit!
Florida Chernobyl sounds right about where we're at now.
It'd be more like Fukushima, right? Flooding damage rather than a design flaw explosion.
Putting a nuclear power plant in Florida is by far the dumbest thing I'll read all day.
But nuclear is “safe”! And “clean”!

It actually is though. Even counting Chernobyl it has fewer deaths per kwh than wind energy.
Then I guess Florida has nothing to worry about. I’ve never heard of wind energy killing anyone. Did someone fall off a turbine while servicing it or something?
Yeah that's the most common case. It's big construction, so there'll always be some hazard there.
Solar is a little lower than nuclear, presumably because you don't need to work with heights.
