Oh no a reactor constructed in the 70's that operated without incident for over 40 years was mismanaged - because people got complacent - and caused a disaster
The environmental damage of windmills and solar farms is far worse Dead insects BPA in the soil Heavy metal in the soil land cleared/ ecosystems destroyed who knows the real effect on the weather of harvesting significant percentages of wind energy out of it. (remember - man made CO2 is a tiny fraction of actual CO2 - whos to say taking a comparable percentage of wind energy won't have similar scale effects?) Not to mention the cost to the planet of actually making all the infrastructure, and replacing it every 15 odd years.
And then, the real problem with these green technologies is *THE SCALE*. There needs to be many many many windmills and solar panels and people can't pay attention to them all.
They couldn't pay adequate attention to a single nuclear reactors needs and it got wrecked by the weather.
And you think that having exponentially more infrastructure over exponentially more area is somehow going to be better? That alllllllll the environmental concerns will be paid attention to forever?
Come on. Centralised is better for this because then at least you can make some attempt to manage it.
