      Ask the 20-50x more cancer patients downwind (up to 50 miles) from any coal mine or plant what they think of a few thousand dead.

      More people have died from coal related radiation related cancers than lived in the entirety of pripyat.

      Nuclear, by the numbers is the safest power source next to solar. The rmb reactors of Chernobyl, per mWh, are safer than any implementation of coal that has ever existed or will ever exist.

              No, your argument was Chernobyl was uniquely awful. It wasn’t. By any measure you want coal plants outdo Chernobyl on a regular basis during their regular operation.

              What do I want from you? To stop saying stupid shit and then defend said stupid shit into the grave because you can’t ever be wrong.

                Singular event. No singular event has been as bad. Concentrated, short timeline. Days. Hundreds if not thousands dead within months, tens of thousands displaced and/or riddled with cancer. All from ONE single reactor. Jfc stop selectively reading my comments.

                You’re saying it’s exaggerated? Give me a fucking break. Go read the numbers.
