Exactly, with this type of playing into fears NOTHING is safe enough to rely on. Come the fuck on

One thing I've found helpful is to shift the conversation to how unsafe coal, oil, and LNG reactors are.

Nuclear tends to be "Go big or go home" fears but regular power generation is also quite dangerous... I.e. oil trains derailing and constant toxic exposure.

Coal plants produce a lot more radiation than nuclear has.

Yes you’re absolutely right, it’s just an uphill battle as you are aware no doubt. Thank you out of control corporate precedence and greed, so much propaganda and corruption
