yes that's part of what i'm saying. to have been fully rational the Green Party would have said "ok lets run 'em a few more years" but probably they thought if we give an inch they'll take a mile and 50 years from now there will still be nuclear

@brettm i guess i have a perspective issue because the nuclear disaster near where i lived was as bad as the reactor issue in chernobyl but the safety features made it negligible. i would see nuclear reactors every morning on my drive to work. i just don't get the fear that the green party was founded on emotionally.

yeah fair enough.

but the killer argument imo is its way more expensive than literally any other kind of energy, way more even than gas or coal.

so even if its was totally safe which it isn't, or even if not connected to military-industrial complex and depleted uranium, or even if we wouldn't need to invade north korea to steal all their plutonium and mali to steal all their uranium, it would still be something we should never advocate for.
