Why are so many people opposed to nuclear energy?
I’ve wondered this for a long time. There has never been an accident in the US that killed anybody. (No one died from Three Mile Island.) Coal energy, for instance, HAS killed a lot of people. Coal mines are little better than death traps.
Nuclear power is also much cheaper than coal, oil, and natural gas by dollars per megawatt-hour. And currently, water, solar, and wind power can’t get the job done.
Nuclear power will also help prevent global warming.
So, what’s everyone afraid of?
EDIT: Wyomugs gave quite possibly the dumbest answer so far. Congratulations!
Everyone is afraid of:
1: accidental explosion
2: radiation
3: the disposal of nuclear waste
4: the similarity to nuclear weapons (the no nukes crowd)
5: Homer Simpson might cause a China Syndrome
For the record, I am for the increased use of nuclear energy, as I believe that most of those concerns have either been met, are not relevant, or are a risk worth taking when you consider the benefit.
