Why Cant We All Get Along

I wish the countries leaders of the world would all get together and put an end to anything nuclear including energy plants. Nuclear energy is evil and it would be the best thing for the earth to STOP NUCLEAR ENERGY. Its crazy and dangerous and the possible pollution is devastation. OPPOSE NUCLEAR ENERGY. I can live without my tv and air conditioning. We can't live without a wholesome earth.

Turning off nuclear means relying more on fossil. Which means more pollution, more severe global warming, more wars and more radiations too (as a coal plant operating normally emits more radioactive particles than an NPP of equal output will in its entire lifetime)

@Elessar well, maybe leave the operational plants unitl a better source is found but no new ones

@Penny They're insufficient and global warming is already a ticking bomb. Renewables cannot entirely replace fossils (as their output isn't constant) and a shortage of oil caused by the umpteenth war in the middle east will cause a major economic collapse if not even literal famine (wait 'till diesel shortages start hitting agriculture, combined with climate change).

We're accepting a certain disaster (mass starvation, recession, supply chain disruptions) in fear of one that, even if you deliberately tried to provoke it, would have infinitesimal chances of happening (see how many things were deliberately done wrong by the Soviets at the time of Chernobyl, the list of blunders is almost comical if it wasn't tragic)
