That is an extreme over simplification of a very complicated subject, it's never that simple.

Having said that: yeah. It was stupid to stop using nuclear energy

there are millions being poured into propaganda against using anything but fossil fuels, much of it stems from there. But i wonder if its better this way or the alternative way where we would use more nuclear energy but since there would be so much money to be made, the rich would use their money to make all safety regulations null. I wish we could just get rid of the source problem.

Europe's regulations are strict and robust. However, the German Greens convinced lots of people that they aren't enough.

Gotta be on 4chan to equate a nuclear meltdown with a person's hut catching on fire.

Bonus points for the ableism. Upvoted here ofc.

I mean in terms of effect on population (which is kind of the point), the analogy still holds.
