    The clean-up operation is expected to take decades, with the most dangerous part — removing radioactive fuel and rubble from three stricken reactors — yet to begin.

    Nothing to see here, people. We have everything under control. Like, we totally know what we’re doing.

        Your house is on fire, but the good news is I just saved a lot of money on my car insurance.

        The lesser of 2 evils is not a compelling argument for energy consumption when the Earth is dying.

          This is a piss poor take.

        Tell that to the tens of thousands of people that were displaced. And the alternative to nukes is obviously not fossil fuels but renewable energy.

            Nuclear power as seen by someone who has no idea what nuclear power is.

              I know what nuclear power is, I’m just confused as to why someone would use the word nukes, which is clearly associated with the ammunitions.

              Nuclear power has its place in the energy generation system alongside natural energy sources.

                Sorry if I was vague, I meant the person you were replying to doesn’t know what nuclear power is, which is why they use a fear mongering term like “nukes” to describe nuclear power.

      Yeah, you’re right. It’s not that they’re trying to be careful and prevent more damage, it’s going to take that long because they’re stupid. /s

        Nobody knows how long they’re going to take because they still don’t have a fucking clue about how they’re going to do it. I’m not blaming the people working on this stuff, my point is that this technology is still uncontrollable despite what all the apologists keep trying to tell us.
