  1. undead890 far more lives were lost and shortened in chernoble alone. I notice they dont provide any sources

  2. if the amount of money spent on nuclear energy research and engineering since the 50s had been spent on solar every house would have solar panels on them generating 40%+ of their energy and we'd have solar panels on the moon

  3. Mickey G people falling off roofs due to poor health and safety is not people dying from solar energy, it's people dying from gravity. If someone falls and dies while installing a TV ariel or satellite dish you don't say he was killed by the TV industry. Load of shite.

  4. undead890 your faith in the information given to you be the institutions running these installations is niave to say the least. Long term radiation is of far greater concern, and fukishima is still leading radiation into the sea and leaked a fuckload into the sea when the disaster happened. Another major disaster is only ever a cost cutting exercise away, and every nuclear power plant and it's waste must be managed and contained for thousands of years afterwards, the costs of which are astronomical. The only reason we have nuclear power is because it produces weapons grade uranium and plutonium

  5. Elvenking how about 3 mile island and the disaster in Japan that is still leading radiation into the area and sea years later? these are only the ones we know about. Its not at all possible that it could happen again is it, with more and more nuclear power stations coming online in places like China as well as America and Europe, as well as increasing amounts coming to their end of life and exceeding them in the West.

  6. Neel 2000 yeah sticking nuclear power stations in urban areas is a great idea

  7. Ben Hoang they get sun burnt and get skin cancer, not that funny

  8. Green Demon Productions "GDC" nonsense. Huge amounts of money have been invested in nuclear energy by both state and private industry in behalf of the state. If that money had gone into solar energy there is no doubt at all we would be 50 years further into the future with the technology and it's use.

  9. Green Demon Productions "GDC" the complications of nuclear engineering is far higher than solar. There is plenty of evidence that shows what cos have been achieved with an equivalent investment. Nuclear power has huge long term costs regarding Nuclear waste and nuclear sites, not to mention the risks associated with accidents and the long term health, environmental and clean up costs associated with those.

  10. Sam Zaremba it was a point illustrating how much money has been pumped into nuclear power

  11. Zach Crawford not heard of the arsenal of the vast array of solar bombs waiting to be unleashed by various armies on earth. I guess if you could find a way of making the sun go supernova that would be pretty damn devastating but to the best of my knowledge no one has yet.

  12. PowerStudios1000 one room where made out of what? you sound like an industry apologist, there's thousands of sources explaining the huge costs related to nuclear engineering and waste storage not to mention cleanup, you're not providing any sources, you are clearly an apoligist
