Right, but nuclear is not the only alternative to fossil fuels. The question isn't whether nuclear is a lesser risk than global warming but whether nuclear is a lesser risk than all other alternatives. Given the half-life of certain nuclear isotopes, you are essentially making cost-benefit decisions not just for your children, but for the children to come over the next hundreds to millions of years.I wouldn't call the risks huge. I'd call them tiny in well regulated western countries and certainly much less than the risks associated with global warming.
Agreed. I would advocate for renewables first, and where that isn't feasible nuclear then natural gas as the next alternative.Right, but nuclear is not the only alternative to fossil fuels.

Nope.So, you're saying, "Coke, no Pepsi"?
What about, "Cheezburger!"Nope.
No colas. Sprite, Mountain Dew, 7-Up, etc. are fine.
The way humans are I see no possible chance that we are not extinct well before our species sees a million years of existence.Right, but nuclear is not the only alternative to fossil fuels.

I hated liking that post.The way humans are I see no possible chance that we are not extinct well before our species sees a million years of existence.
‘Any proposals as to where we should store the additional nuclear waste?
