Depends on where you live, Germany that gets the beating for phasing or nuclear is so densely populated that these remote areas hardly exist!
Comment on Anon questions our energy sector
areyouevenreal@lemm.ee 4 weeks agoPeople don’t put reactors next to cities for a reason. Meaning this scenario wouldn’t happen. Nuclear is also one of the safest energy sources overall in terms of deaths caused. It’s safer than some renewables even, and that’s not factoring in advances in the technology that have happened over the decades making it safer. This kind of misinformation is dangerous. It’s also not a good reason not to do nuclear. The reason why renewables are used more (and probably have a somewhat larger role to play in general) is because they a cheaper and quicker to manufacture. Nuclear energy’s primary problem isn’t safety but rather cost. It’s biggest strength is reliability.

That’s actually an interesting point. Maybe we shouldn’t put nuclear reactors in Germany.

I know nuclear is super safe but we have actual examples of accidents happening and making cities unlivable, you can’t deny that.

Which cities? I haven’t heard of any cities being made unlivable, only towns and villages.

🙄 I’m sorry, I was unaware of the population requirement

You do know what a city is, right? The regulations on nuclear are also around population density if I remember.
