Comment on Nuclear too slow to replace coal, and baseload “simply can’t compete” with wind and solar, AEMO boss says

  I would disagree. Take a look at airplanes for instance. Good safety policy measures and enforcement can make seemingly high risk operations incredibly safe. Take a look at French nuclear reactors for example. Good nuclear safety policies, hence no accidents.

    Those things that Boeing builds?

      Less people die on airplanes than other modes of transport. So yeah, that’s the level of safety despite Boeing’s bullshit.

        Less people travel by planes than other modes of transport.

        If you look unitary numbers, planes in general are safer than most things, not by any absurd margin. And Boeing has more than one model that just isn’t safer than most things.

        That should show you how bad management can destroy any kind of safety policy. But I guess it won’t, not by fault of the facts.
