How many people have been killed/ injured by nuclear vs fossil fuels and the like?
Then look at it from an environmental point of view and weigh up the differences.
Then look at it from a mining point of view and weigh up the differences.

Then tell me with a straight face that nuclear is not safer.

But no, use 1 instance from 36 years ago as evidence.
You might as well tell me computers are no good because you had a commodore 64 36 years ago and the graphics were crap and the memory was almost non existent.

True, if you could jump in the DeLorean and go back to the 50s, going nuclear would have been better regarding climate change than fossil fuels. But if we can't get the flux capacitor to work properly and we have to deal with the here and now, then we can use renewables that weren't around in the 50s. Best of both worlds.

By the way, the Commodore 64 analogy is perfect for those who want to argue that we should just assume that renewables and batteries and the recycling of them is static. Just like the Commodore 64, as the years roll on the developments in a growth sector will make the current technology look very Commodore 64-like.
