NUCLEAR POWER IS SO FUCKING DANGEROUS THAT IT REQUIRES THE MOST SOPHISTICATED MONITORING AND SAFETY SYSTEMS USED ON THIS PLANET. ON TOP OF THAT IT REQUIRES REDUNDANT SAFETY SYSTEMS FOR THE BACKUP SAFETY SYSTEMS FOR THE SAFETY SYSTEMS.

The issue of waste being dangerous isn't a fucking MYTH created to put nuclear power out of business - it is a product of the fact that the waste MUST be dealt with in a way that NO OTHER WASTE BYPRODUCT has to be treated.

Continually pointing to the screw ups associated with a bad system (fossil fuels) DOES NOT negate the EXTREME danger associated with nuclear energy and its byproducts. THE FACT THAT THE DANGERS WERE RECOGNIZED EARLY ON DEFINITELY DOES NOT PROVE THAT NUCLEAR IS *SAFER* THAN ANYTHING. THE COMPLEXITY OF THE SYSTEMS AND THE LONG TERM DANGER FLOWING FROM THE PRODUCTION OF NUCLEAR POWER MEANS THAT THE PRESENT SAFETY RECORD OF NUCLEAR ENERGY IS UNSUSTAINABLE; SOONER OR LATER IT IS BOUND TO FAIL.

Give it a fucking rest.
