I’m not against using nuclear energy, but we should focus even more on the safety aspect, especially long-term. It costs a lot to build and improve the reactors and safety mechanisms, and when money dictates everything, things are going to get done with the minimum cost somewhere, which leaves a lot of room for errors.

We can’t exactly prevent earthquakes or tsunamis and whatnot, and global warming is even making sure the weather conditions are going to cause more extreme storms and all that… but the biggest issue is money religion, basically. At this rate there will be reactors build the cheapest way possible, and even the people hired to be responsible will be chosen what’s cheapest… Not to mention all the possibilities to save money in storing the nuclear waste.

People are already starting to forget a bit too much about how dangerous nuclear radiation is since even Fukushima wasn’t that bad in the end, and at this rate we’re not going to stop rampant capitalism either, before something can go terribly wrong…

I guess the point is, we’re really, really stupid, and nuclear energy combined with stupidity has quite the infinite potential for disasters. Which we should consider a lot more for things to stay safe in the future too
