War is awful so is the misuse of nuclear power, people died in many unbelievable ways for reasons related to use or possession of radioactive materials already.

thats why I said  the effects of a nuclear strike are so strong, theres 2 nuclear power plants in my city and another one is under construction, the only ones in Brazil

unless I'm drinking water from the Sea, otherwise the water I drink "shouldn't have any radioactive element on it"

Killa, I agree with you until the bit where you say "if the waste is disposed of properly". Has any nuclear waste been disposed of properly? That stuff has half-lives of thousands of years and we've only been doing nuclear stuff for what, 50-70 years? We can't "dispose" of it, we can only manage it and moderate it.

All energy sucks. Coal and gas cause air pollution, nuclear will kill us all from the inside out, solar is inefficient and made in foreign markets, wind kills bird habitats, dams require tons of maintenance. Geothermal's aright but it's crazy expensive.

We're all gonna die.

Yeah, there's a possibility of a nuclear disaster. Just like there is a possibility of getting shot in the face walking down the road on any given day. The only difference is that nuclear disasters are MUCH less common.

Nuclear energy is very safe when handled by the right people. Chernobyl was a flawed design being worked on by unqualified people. That's why it happened. The thing about nuclear energy is if the waste is disposed of properly, it's very clean and causes very little pollution for how much energy you can get out of it.
