"This is the brief, simple story of two major clean energy projects, and how one exposes the double standards suffered by the other."
@kravietz The difference is that one of them will kill the neighbors if it is just slightly mismanaged. The other one just sits there.
One would think that Chernobyl and Fukushima would be enough of an argument at this point.
Yes, just like Banquiao dam disaster that killed 60'000 people should be enough argument against hydro power, right?
@kravietz No. that is still not the same. A dam can be secured with well-known engineering measures and the failure mode is clearly defined.
People can always screw up, but a dam disaster does not condemn unborn generations to sickness and death.
> A dam can be secured
Sorry but you are now ignoring like 50 years of engineering in nuclear power technology. No modern nuclear power reactor will even suffer a meltdown, even if the crew abandons it and power is switched off.
