8. Fukushima and Chernobyl were trivial events.

Seven million people die from air pollution each year, and no one cares, but they are willing to burn gas and coal to generate electricity to run computers to complain about Chernobyl and Fukushima.

Combined, both events are easily surpassed by a few hours of air pollution deaths.

Quick! Which event killed more people, Fukushima radiation or the Alpha Piper Oil Platform explosion?

Which killed more people, Fukushima or the gas explosion in New York City last year?

The entire rap on the entire nuclear industry is a case of selective attention. I would note with due disgust, that this selective attention, since nuclear energy saves lives.

The wind industry soaked up nearly a trillion dollars in ten years. It doesn't even produce 5 of the 560 exajoules of energy that humanity consumes each year. It will never be as clean, as safe, as affordable, nor as reliable as nuclear energy.

Moreover, the wind industry would die in a New York minute if it didn't have dangerous fossil fuels to back it up. It's an expensive and unsustainable daydream that hasn't, isn't and won't work.

Have a nice day tomorrow.
