    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kashiwazaki-Kariwa_Nuclear_Power_Plant

    the largest fission plant was literally working 5 years after construction started

    fission plants are just more expensive now because we don’t make enough of them.

    I guess safety standards changed but even wind power kills more people per watt than fission so ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

    Nuclear could’ve easily worked if people didn’t go full nimby in the past few decades

      Sorry. How does wind power kill anyone? Okay, every once in a while you hear about a technician falling off a windmill, but are there any fatalities in regard to the effects of wind power?
