> Carbon dioxide

yes

> where things like Fukushima don't happen

When Germany is hit by a Tsunami hit me up I'l pay you a beer

For every nuclear related death you have hundred thousands of coal related deaths, it's that simple. The potential, yet highly low probability, big boom scares you more than the inevitable slow death that's all, it's purely irrational

Carbon dioxide isn't deadly.

I meant an nuclear accident not a tsunami. Just like Fukushima was hit by a catastrophe bigger than expected the same could happen in Germany. Maybe a plane crash, none of the existing power plants is germany is build to withstand one.

And who said about coal instead of nuclear? Coal is used because german politicians intentionally blocked wind and solar power.
