Germany's soapbox against nuclear power made of coal.

[Papewaio]

Approximately 165 people died in Tokyo due to fire started because of the earthquake and tsunami that took out the Fukushima reactor.

How many people died to the oldest nuclear power plant being knocked out?

Proportional responses to risk need to be done.

Coal power plants shorten the lifespan of people downwind from them.Gas plants can explode, as can gas bottles and fires caused by them maim and kill many each year. Fire byproducts such as carbon monoxide poisoning from kills thousands each year.

Yet people shit a brick because of a common prejudice mixing up nuclear weapons with nuclear power. It's like mistaking weaponised petrol (napalm) vs petrol used in cars.

The risks of nuclear power are a fraction of those compared with the issues created by coal plants. Nuclear power plants have a potential to have an impact, whilst coal plants actually daily shorten the lives of thousands.

Even if you add in nuclear weapons, nuclear power is still safer then coal. Hiroshima and Nagasaki shortened the lives of 200k people. That's half the yearly lives shortened in China from coal plants.
