everything about energy production

Debating whether or not fission is green has given the fossil fuel industry free rein over energy production for the last 60 years.
We could have a Fukushima every year and a Chernobyl every 5 and it would pale in comparison to the loss of life and habitable land we’d be giving up to climate change.
We could have a Chernobyl every 5 years and losing less lives than we do through the lung diseases caused by the air pollution or oil vehicles. There was a study in France showing that (every 5 years is a low estimate, actual numbers hinted at 2-3 years).
Bro. Nuclear fission isn't green and its shit in so many other ways as well, most importantly, its not economic without massive government fundings.
Fossile is pushing for nuclear because they fear actually green energy. Wich is way faster to expand than nuclear btw.
If you repeat it enough time it will become true...
If we had gone full nuclear and full electric in the 90s (like we could have) we would not have a climate crisis right now (and the Iraq war, and petro-monarchies with an abusive amount of power). Nuclear has its problem, but CO2 is not one of them and the others are much easier to solve.
Pro Nuclear = 🤡
Best argument ever.
