Some climate activists are pushing for expanded nuclear power — most experts think the risk is too high

    I hate the argument that nuclear is unsafe. Sure its unsafe, but how is killing the ocean with plastic and record temperatures caused by coal any safer?

    Because fuck logic.

      While that’s true, the counter arguments are Fukushima, Three Mile Island, and Chernobyl.

      The risk with nuclear is that we trade one problem–climate change caused by CO2 emissions–for another significant problem down the road.

      At the same time, climate change is here now, and we need to act or else there isn’t going to be anything we need to worry about in a century.
