Reply #11: Half of these "shutdowns" are maintainence. [View All]

[NNadir]

The only difference between nuclear shutdowns and shutdowns (and deaths) everywhere else is that nobody cares about the millions of people who die each year from air pollution.

No one has ever died from a commercial nuclear accident in the United States. No one has ever died from so called nuclear waste. If I'm wrong, prove it.

Thus the lack of "safety" related to nuclear power is simply a function that no one gives a rat's ass about all of the people who die from natural gas explosions, black lung, coal mine accidents, refinery explosions, air pollution, fossil fuel wars, etc. etc, and most of all the people who will be dying over the next decade or so from global climate change.

If anyone cared about safety they'd be screaming for as many nuclear plants as possible as fast as they could be built.
