@thefinalfrontier1701 if there is no sun, almost 90% of the earth WILL DIE... if you dont have the sun, you will not stay in the present form that you are in. Trust and believe that.

@newave123456 And you can enjoy a $700 dollar electric bill at the end of every month too. Oh, and when their is a global catastrophe, such as Yellowstone erupting and the sun gets blocked out, enjoy sitting in darkness since their will be nothing to power your precious solar panels. Meanwhile, I'll be paying cheap bills every month and be perfectly fine if the sun gets blocked out since my power isn't dependent on variant factors.

NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS! MANIFEST INDUSTRIAL CRIME! A BOMB WAITING TO EXPLODE ! NO SUBSIDIZING AGGRESSIVE WAR CRIMES! BE THEY SURRENDERED TO THE ICC AND THE ROME STATUTE! NUCLEAR SCIENTISTS DON'T KNOW SCAT!

It is exactly because of chernobyl that we know the dangers of nuclear energy and what not to do at a nuclear power plant. Chernobyls design and safety standards were literally a worst case scenario. chernobyl happened at a time when people were still using x-rays in shoe stores. needless to say in the past 40 years the science and standards have improved greatly. Something like chernobyl could never happen again. and the way Fukushima was handled is perfect proof of that.

@werexz Are you stupid? Chernobyl's cancer causing consequences didn't show up till 20 years after the fact. You cannot develop radiation caused cancer in less than 5 years, it isn't possible unless they are constantly being exposed, which people aren't exposed to high enough levels to be at risk. And besides, most of the "nuclear fallout" landed into the Ocean, which since nuclear fallout has a larger density than water, it would sink to the bottom of the ocean. End of story.

@Xx3klipsExX LFTR is what the US needs to invest in.

[werexz]

@Nickelskov or maybe, they dident want to release the news of how bad the accident was as usual as with all other major disasters. I got nothing more to say, just check how many ppl there is who get cancer per year now and then check in 2-5 years again and i promise you there will be a fucking MAJOR increase in cancer because of fukushima now. I promise you that for sure. bye

[Nickelskov]

@werexz "1 million ppl have prolly died cuz of chernobyl cause of radiation and radiation makes it easier to get cancer."

You don't even understand how radiation gives you cancer?

You actually think 1 million people died and the only source which says 985,000 people died was discredited because it took sources which added up multiples of the same source, and the Scientific Community came to the conclusion of only approx 4,000 deaths total.

Stop being a stupid hippie please.

[werexz]

@Nickelskov are u kidding me? check up the facts again my friend. do u think the radiation of chernobyl only stayed there? its not like, BAM 1 million ppl dead, but ye, 1 million ppl have prolly died cuz of chernobyl cause of radiation and radiation makes it easier to get cancer. now the mox fuel that was in fukushima, if u would inhale a millionth of a gram of that, u would get cancer for sure, not in a day or two but ye u would get it and in that reactor there was 200-250kg. thats quite alot.

[Nickelskov]

@mrshorty13579 Oh hey, the radiation released from the plant is less than what you get from the sun every day. The only true danger was being near the reactor, like within 5 meters, the "fallout" that spread everywhere has less radioactive material than what is spread to.

Also, those plants were from the 60's and due to get replaced 2 weeks after the Tsunami/Earthquake happened. The new model plants can handle much worse.

THE MORE YOU KNOW!
