It's an emotional response though, like how there are still more people with a parallizing fear of flight that don't have a problem hopping into a car.

Like I said, I'm not justifying being against Nuclear, but explaining the challenge with Nuclear's general acceptance, there is a fear response from people, and it'll need to be curbed and addressed. That fear response is due to the grandiose nature of a Nuclear failure which fossil fuel don't have, even if they kill you slowly and might lead to world ending catastrophies.

Yes, they do. If you drive a car, heat your home via gas/electricity, use the internet (to post this) -- you signed up for it.

Okay then by the same logic people do sign up for nuclear by using the electricity for their homes, the internet, etc

How so? Do the particulates and aerosols avoid me breathing them in because I don’t drive a car and use electric heating? How does it work?

Pollution from fossil fuel is unavoidable in quite a lot of places regardless of your life style. Also, much more deadly than anything related to nuclear so far.

That's not how it works :-)

I don't smoke but until they started banning smoking everywhere, plenty of people would sign me up for passive smoking without asking me anything.
