    2.2% of Fukushima prefecture is nothing compared with the damage that fossil fuel is doing every single year to the entire planet. Even ignoring climate change, we are breathing pollution that is killing us. Radiation is a natural thing all around us, and our body evolved to correct for that below a certain threshold. Closing nuclear in germany before closing carbon killed a lot of people. If nuclear displace carbon I am more then happy with nuclear

      Don’t get me wrong, I too want nuclear power, but we need to hit it hard enough and without outsourcing, and to do it long enough to build institutional knowledge and get costs down. I kinda want the Rolls Royce SMR to work out, but britain is crap at building anything.
