Easy Power Plan 'current power plants do not use fuel' Um... What? Coal power plants use coal. Nuclear plants use uranium or plutonium. Natural gas plants use flammable gas. Heck, even geothermal uses stored energy at the Earth's core as 'fuel', and yes, that is a finite (albeit vast) resource. There is no such thing as free energy, every source of power needs a source, or a fuel.

@Nicholas Marashio Nuclear is scary because it occasionally causes a lot of harm all at once. Other power sources tend to kill much larger numbers of people gradually. But even if we assume that reactors being built today are just as dangerous as they were 40+ years ago, they are still far safer than fossil fuels which kill millions of people annually due to pollution. Additionally, as was covered in this videos, we have new reactor designs that promise to be not only far more efficient, but much safer as well.

@ShaunDoesMusic Yeah, you're preaching to the choir. I'm all for nuclear energy, and research into making it more efficient.

@ShaunDoesMusic Yeah, unfortunately most people don't speak the language of science. People don't know what a 'reasonable degree of scientific certainty' is. Even if you bring out actual numbers, it doesn't help much. Statistics can be very deceiving, so the honest are at a severe disadvantage when using statistics to back up to their claim compared to those willing to bend and abuse the numbers to look more favorable while still technically not being a lie.
