>>13971339I think I read somewhere there are something like 600 reactors like Fukushima on coastlines around the world.
It was rational to be against nuclear until the world filled up with them, and then of course, civilization pushing CO2 beyond fixing and basically holding the issue hostage.
Today anyone who says there is some hippie objection is trolling you. The barriers to development of these things are political and practical and economic.

The hippies were never even above single digits of the population even in the 1960s. They are simple scapegoats, a sideshow. They didn't prevent anything from getting built. They where the original rhetoricist's distraction for any reason. Mad about nuke plants being built / not being built? Reference your scapegoat! Pure rhetorical /pol/-tier bullshit.
