Comment on YSK that fracking is not safe. People living near fracking sites are more likely to develop serious diseases

I’m mostly commenting on the fact that people are so concerned with the cost of nuclear plants yet they seem to not care about the cost of the damage that rampant fossil fuel production comes with. This has been the shitty argument for long before renewables became viable and nuclear would have been a much better stepping stone. There are also always going to be places where renewable energy won’t work or be enough.

It’s never going to be a single solution problem.

Ok, fair enough. I also absolutely agree that we shaould have went for nuclear instead of coal, but now its to late and its faster to replace coal with renewables, than replacing it with nuclear.

  Nope, that’s bullshit. Nuclear development didn’t stop in the 80s and you can’t rely on renewables alone 'cos they’re not constant. You need a stable supply.
