except for the people that literally had to give up their lives in order to save the situation and not let it grow many times worse. knowing they were stepping into the radiation that would kill them in a few hours (if they were lucky).

hey if it's not very deadly, why don't you volunteer for being one of those heroes the next disaster

also Fukushima is not yet done doing damage, not by a long shot.

let's evaluate the "once every 30 years is no biggie, really" thing once we spent 30 years trying to clean it up.

> how harmless Chernobyl turned out to be

because all those malformed children being born must've been a hoax, or something.

btw I wasn't against nuclear energy at all (except by now it's kinda too late really, and once we realize the next plan B will be too late, but at least we'll keep on making new humans to witness the carnage) but it was because I thought we could actually do better than Chernobyl and Fukushima, not to take it as a calculated risk. That is horrible. I'd easily give up "air-conditioning and data centres" to prevent that shit (easy to say, I don't have AC, and data ... well we could really do with a little bit less of those, take a moment and think about what is stored in those because it's so ridiculously cheap, at best it's worthless data).
