Absolute and complete bullshit. Even if you take the very, very low estimate for the number of deaths caused by nuclear accidents such as Chernobyl, wind and nuclear have a similar number of deaths, but when it comes to “people and animals harmed”, nuclear is HUGELY more harmful, it’s not even a contest.
Just look up all of the people with horrible health issues caused by nuclear.
But go ahead and source your claim lmfao.
Chernobyl was a freak incident and it happened fourty years ago. We don't build reactors like that anymore. Don't use it as an example of something that happens all the time.
Meanwhile, wind turbines do fail, sometimes they catch on fire, sometimes while a worker is doing maintenance up top.
Don't get me wrong, renewable power is wonderful and solar is really catching up but it's not a miracle and they'll never entirely replace other energy sources. There's always a base load that needs to be satisfied, and nuclear is the cleanest, safest way to do it. It's even safer than lithium batteries.
I’m not using Chernobyl as an example of anything. I’m mentioning it because a number of people died as a result of the Chernobyl disaster, therefore it has a bearing on the number of deaths caused by that source of power.
That is not true, and I have posted evidence demonstrating that it isn’t true.
Also, IPCC says that all of our energy sources can be 100% renewable and that it’s totally viable. Sorry, but you’re not better informed on this topic than the experts. You’re no better than an anti-vaxxer with your science denial.
Lol, going straight for ad hominem here, aren't you. Yea, you're just a shill and a naive kid who thinks that he's objectively smarter than literally everyone. I've met plenty of people like you before, you'll argue just for the sake of arguing, ignoring all facts.
Lmao okay, yes, defeating every single one of your arguments logically and soundly is absolutely “going straight for ad-hominem”. You’re projecting so hard it’s genuinely very funny.
You don't understand how the power grid works.
