[QUOTE="cleonard, post: 43805, member: 21"] The thing is you have to compare it to other energy options. Oil, gas and especially coal have killed countless thousands. They just don't make the same news though. I'm not discounting the disaster that is unfolding. It's really really bad. It has the real potential to get vastly worse. We do need to get rid of these old designs. They are dangerous. What's up with keeping the spent fuel right at the reactor? Not a good idea. Clustering 6 of them in one place? Not a good idea. There are more of these bad ideas in play at the location of these accidents. The news does really play it up. Did you know that the first meltdown in the US happened just a few miles outside the city limits of Los Angeles in 1959. Yes, a partial meltdown. Never heard of it? It was way worse than Three Mile Island. Was California rendered uninhabitable? Of course not. The current events unfolding in Japan are much worse though. All energy sources have significant dangers.
