  1. Because every time nuclear has been said to be secure at some point some shit happens anyway (It´s a bit like the Titanic) – what does a 12m tall wall do if the waves of a Tsunami are 20m tall. We might very well not have seen the strongest natural phenomena yet. While nuclear power provides a lot of energy – when it goes wrong the aftermath is really destructive and very long lasting. If nuclear energy had taken its base in Thorium and not Uranium we would most likely not even have this discussion by now. But oil and natural resources interest chose the Uranium way because there was money to be made – Thorium is in abundance and a large number of small reactors could be placed with no problems – because that kind of reactor can´t really melt down the way a Uranium based reactor can. So again humans made stupid choices for short-term gains but for the worse of the longevity of the planet and all its inhabitants. We are fucking stupid – and why we by scientific standards still are regarded a Civ 0 – because we burn stuff to make energy – its like we did not get much further away from the campfire despite all the Science, Technology, knowledge, and Wisdom we have collected. Our need to feel that we control stuff is a human virus, a malfunction of understanding life – We discarded the belief in God only to replace it with a need to become Gods ourself – Fucking selfdestructive morons.
