But solar and wind don't. Why must we use nuclear. We could weatherproof houses and paint rooftops white. There are a million solutions that don't require me to get radiation poisoned

You're not going to get radiation poisoning from a nuclear plant, unless you're planning to personally planning to break in and turn off all the safeties to cause another Chernobyl (also there are more safeties now, since, y'know...). You don't have concerns about nuclear, you have baseless fears. With current battery technology we can't fulfill energy demands just off solar and wind, so it's coal or nuclear. As much as it does have legitimate downsides, you are at about as much risk from radiation as you are from a windmill falling on you.

Love how I'm getting downvoted for promoting solar and wind lol
