I'm aware of the natural background radiation, but that doesn't justify getting more of it. It's obviously not healthy. That's like saying Apple seeds have cyanide, so what's a little extra cyanide?
Yea and? The point I'm making is that anything bad that can happen will happen. There are people who live near these waste dumps that have been affected. To the honest anything involved that's all about making money isn't exactly brimming with confidence that the highest level of care was done to properly dispose the nuclear waste. I live in NJ and tell me they did not throw waste off the shore? Tell me they didn't shoot at barrels that were floating? Cause if they did, fuck your nuclear power.Plus, you do get that it was about nuclear waste, not nuclear leaks, right?
Why support nuclear power when we know renewable energy works? To keep capitalistic companies within their profit margins? Seriously fuck em. If profits are the reason for all this then socialize our power.

I'm not interested in coal or nuclear. I want renewable energy. That photo of the panda is solar panels, not a coal mine that was artistically shaped like a panda. Again, I don't care if you think I'll get more radiation from a Banana than Fukushima. We can't even send robots in there because the radiation is so bad that it even breaks them. There is absolutely no reason to continue to have nuclear & coal power plants in America. Leave that shit someplace else.
Someone get Elon Musk to install solar power on my roof and one of them power wall batteries. That shit works, so why do I need to support nuclear power?
