It isn't any good. Solar panels need a lot of mining, so that isn't any good either. All envireromental reasons not to go for nuclear energy is simply bullshit. You never said they weren't, just saying they are
    A lot of this reminds me of that old "power lines cause cancer" trope.

    I've lived near a railroad track, in a house with no soundproofing.

    I'm sure it's not nice, but I imagine it would be bearable (especially since it's a constant sound) and I don't buy that it will make you sick.

    There really are complaints, that girlgriend lives in Spakenburg there are several at the other side of the channel, ten or so. It's a constant humming (not everybody notices it) but it absolutily distorts the sleep for some. I got other reasons to not sleep when I am at her place but I wouldn't underestimate what a continious monotone buzz does. You can't get around it, putting something in your ears doesn't help it never goes away
