TBF a nuclear incident is not like burning just one house down. It’s burning down the whole city and making it unusable for a decade or ten.

While 100% true for nuclear, the current state of burning fossil fuels is much MUCH worse.

Yes. Over the long term it will render the planet uninhabitable, or at least close enough to it.

I think a town burning down would be fatal for most the inhabitants 3000 BC

What if fire burned down everything in a 10 km radius when there's not enough water around the specific area the fire was ignited at?

He should, reason they ditched them for coal and gas was because big daddy Exxon and BP are pushing for it so they don't go out of bussiness. FUCK BP AND EXXON!
