Nuclear energy, Fukushima and all, comes out however many hundreds of times safer than coal. But there are schools of thought that say “nuclear and coal” in the same breath. Why they do that, and why, as the article asks, is nuclear the most feared?
I think it’s because these two rely on fuels that are enormously cheaper and more abundant than natural gas — and on natural gas, governments make *money*.
So it’s not so much that nuclear is the most feared, as that those who *do* fear it are, in government’s eyes, more equal than the rest of us.
You are presenting a false equivalency and your thesis is very flawed. In your lifetime you will understand the fallacy in your thinking, because the clock on all the future nuclear disasters is ticking. You are, as usual elitist and naive.
