    Isn’t nuclear energy like super safe and have killed incredibly few people compared to all the other energy sources?

    Or are you talking about destilling the magic rocks very much and putting them in a bomb?

      Exactly.

      The whole clusterfuck of mishandled Chernobyl cleanup & everything there before and after only claimed a few lives (via direct radiation tissue damage or just accidents).

      Compare that with the daily average of thousands of killed in various (ultimately) oil wars.

      But we don’t even get news about that.

      But western propaganda sure showed us malformed babies & claimed it was from radiation - it turns out it was all bullshit, it was always a toxic chemical behind it (unregulated industries selling toxic shit by the tonnes - fertilisers, paints, even biological warfare).

      We just take radiation super seriously and completely disregard toxic chemical pollution of eg industrial spillages. People just get to live in polluted areas and die sooner because of that. Instead of living for longer & with less health hazards but with a little radiation.

      And lastly - burning coal released way more radiation into air than nuclear accidents.
