Comment on nuclear

sure, like corners are cut in every industry including renewables (which have a higher accident rate even). yes a nationalized nuclear power program is less perversely incentivised. if you look at countries where nuc is accepted more you wont find insane accident rates nor are plants bombs.

  fukushima was problematic because literally everything in the chain of safety that should’ve happened, either didn’t or was ignored, due to callous stupidity.
  
  If literally any one thing had gone differently, there’s a good chance it wouldn’t have been that bad.

  that is believable, no structures should have been where fukushima was nor with the lacking tsunami protections it had.
