Climate change will literally cause more fission plants to fail. IE Fukushima.
Also you're judging Chernobyl based on how bad in ended up being. Not how bad it could've been. It could've irradiated all of Europe as bad as the exclusion zone.
"The mass nationalization of all infrastructure" has the same energy as "you've activated my trap card" when you use it without any elaboration like that. Go on, do tell us how that is a solution for the energy problem without saying "well if we nationalize all infrastructure, then we can just do something different!" as though that wouldn't have already occurred by now if it was going to.
How does nationalized power infrastructure solve any environmental issue? A private power plant that burns coal is the same power plant when privatized.
Okay but we live in reality, not in fantasy land. Nuclear meltdowns are preventable, and working towards making the current society somewhere that cares about preventing meltdowns is a million times easier than inventing some mythical "ideologically pure" energy source
Nuclear disasters are noticeable and big. When a big one happens, people panic. But it almost never happens.
Oil and gas fail catastrophically all the time, pollute constantly, and destroy the planet. It's (pardon the pun) background radiation. It's the destruction that never gets news because it's so common.

so what is "what the hell" about saying that taking the less bad thing would be worth it over the worse thing

OP is obfuscating to be anti-nuclear with the veneer of leftism.
Well OP should cut that shit out.

Genuinely it would.

It's also literally radioactive too. A meltdown per year still releases less radiation than we currently do just by burning shit for power.
Oil extraction has likely destroyed the Niger delta for good.

I don't have any reservations about the accuracy of the comparison, but I made the same face.
