We are facing the end of 'the West'. Some of our best science shows the US empire is following the collapse-path of the USSR - but this is also the precursor to the emergence of a new life-cycle for civilisation.
Ask the 20-50x more cancer patients downwind (up to 50 miles) from any coal mine or plant what they think of a few thousand dead.
More people have died from coal related radiation related cancers than lived in the entirety of pripyat.
Nuclear, by the numbers is the safest power source next to solar. The rmb reactors of Chernobyl, per mWh, are safer than any implementation of coal that has ever existed or will ever exist.
Dude I explicitly acknowledged the US has had energy disasters - I said they were “terrible” and resulted in “major consequences.” Don’t pull this bullshit
I acknowledged that in the other comment chain too. Get over yourself. The US has done terrible things and currently does terrible things that have killed people and still kill people. What the fuck do you want from me? We’re talking about Chernobyl, I’m not saying America has not fucked up. My original comment was a joke for fuck’s sake
You sound like one of those defensive, butthurt lemmygrad users who can’t bear to see the USSR/russia talked ill of and always have to “BUT THE US”
No, your argument was Chernobyl was uniquely awful. It wasn’t. By any measure you want coal plants outdo Chernobyl on a regular basis during their regular operation.
What do I want from you? To stop saying stupid shit and then defend said stupid shit into the grave because you can’t ever be wrong.
Singular event. No singular event has been as bad. Concentrated, short timeline. Days. Hundreds if not thousands dead within months, tens of thousands displaced and/or riddled with cancer. All from ONE single reactor. Jfc stop selectively reading my comments.
You’re saying it’s exaggerated? Give me a fucking break. Go read the numbers.
Ask the dead from Pripyat what their opinion on that is

I’m not talking about disasters, that’s just coal operation. Nominal operation.
