I will return to the Chernobyl tragedy - you can feed the hungry, warm the freezing, and hundreds of thousands in Ukraine alone who are sick and dying from oncology, as the consequences of this catastrophe, you will not be able to fix it. This is a sentence. Sick from children to old people. No options. No way out. Without the slightest chance ...

I would rather side with stompix here. The Chernobyl tragedy happened because of the mismanagement from the Soviet authorities. The only noticeable nuclear accident that has occurred in the last three decades is Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster in Japan. Even in this case, according to the government study, so far just one death has occurred from radiation exposure. Now compare this to the millions who die every year from atmospheric pollution, that has been attributed to the thermal power plants.

I agree that people also die from pollution. And he dies a lot, and regularly. But this does not mean nuclear energy, because of this it has become safe. About Japan and the Fukushima tragedy. Perhaps 1 person DIED. But perhaps you have no idea how insidious nuclear energy is. You can not die today or tomorrow, but in 10 years, when a person will be in the very dawn of strength, and suddenly CANCER. And even if you move to another region / country where everything is environmentally friendly. Either his children will be identified, or his father, being a grandfather, will be forced to nurse the grandchildren of freaks ...
It's foolish to choose the best of two deaths, really ...
It seems to me that it is worth investing money not in the struggle of one type of killing people over another, but in really alternative, safer solutions.
