yeah right. you say that nuclear power is good. but it is not good. it is efficient. but what if someone makes a mistake?

Human Error=Nuclear Explosion=Radioactivty=Death

nuclear power seemed a great idea, much cheaper than fossil fuels with less pollution.

also one that people did'nt understand. fat cats and scientists where humbled by thier own creation with the chernobyl disaster. but now people know the risks, the cost to safley and properly remove and store radioactive waste and maintain these power plants is very high. so it's not much cheaper than using fossil fuels tbh.

nuclear power it is the death

@graciebaby690 Oh please. Coal costs the US 180 BILLION dollars a year. Nuclear power is MUCH more efficient, cleaner, SAFER, better for the environment. And one plant's waste is another plant's... gold.

@graciebaby690 nuclear power is much cleaner, much safer, and much better for the environment as a whole. it's just ridiculous how hard it is to keep under control if the proper precautions aren't in place from the get go
