increased.
The fear of nuclear meltdown is just fear mongering. More people die every year installing solar panels than in all melt downs combined. If anything Fukushima shows us how safe it is…earthquake, tidal wave, and what? Like 3 people died?
The problem with nuclear is it is heavily regulated, so there are no political wins to be gained by supporting it. Republicans get oil support and Dems get renewable support, but nuclear, nobody wants to openly support terrible nuclear energy.
So instead of fueling our needs with dead plants and animals (which was great for industrialization) or from shell game renewables that hide the true cost of energy and harness the cast offs of nuclear power, why not just go straight to the source? That seems way more efficient.
