    Fukushima was such bullshit. It was never a good design in a reasonable place and they knew it when they built it. It’s like saying we shouldn’t wear shoes in snow because your neighbor wore Crocs in 3ft snow drifts while hiking and lost their feet.

      No, your example is wrong.

      It’s like saying nobody should go into the snow because it can’t be 100% ensured that all shoes are snowready.

        Closer, but still wrong.

        It’s like saying that wearing designer boots that are on a decade’s back order gradually fall apart as summer progresses is not how to keep your feet cool during endlessly worsening heat caused by the neighbors burning sneakers like the Springfield Tire Fire from The Simpsons.

        (Compared to renewable energy, nuclear is more expensive, takes much longer to build, is more wasteful, and is becoming less and less effective and safe as a result of climate change warming the water sources the plants depend on)

          True, and it still doesn’t include that the boot industry has no interest in building proper snow safety but just to make it as cheap as possible and if the boots fail, the state should pay you for your wet and cold feet.
