    The reason you can only name those two disasters is because nuclear disasters are so rare when you account for how much energy is produced, and modern reactors are even safer to the point where they're as safe as renewables, look at the data, idk what else to tell you. Logically you should be hundreds of times more scared of fossil fuels.

      Fossils are not the alternative to nuclear power, everybody agrees that they have to go. When you include all the costs of nuclear power, instead of ignoring them as externalities as capitalism allows them to do, it is not cost competitive with renewables such as wind and solar.

        Good, cost is a better point than safety. It's still pretty efficient so we shouldn't dismiss it entirely yet, there should be more research into nuclear options like thorium
