Three mile island was one of the worst industrial disasters in American history, because of the anti nuclear backlash it caused which led to us sticking to coal. And coal kills

Fun (?) fact: coal puts more radiation into the atmosphere every year than three mile island ever did. Coal contains two isotopes of carbon: carbon-12 (which is stable), and carbon-14 (which isn’t). When you put that CO2 in the atmosphere, the carbon-14 will undergo radioactive decay, and release radiation into the atmosphere over time. I fucking hate coal.

I’m glad somebody understands this. Too many environmentalists are anti nuclear for no reason other than fear. It would solve so many of our problems

Quick note: we still haven’t really solved the “nuclear waste problem” yet. Most nuclear waste in the US is kept on-site at the nuclear plant it was generated at. There was going to be a central place to store it in Nevada but that faced a ton of public backlash (rightfully in my opinion, as Nevada is the original victim of nuclear colonialism). There’s a bunker in Finland that is meant to keep all the nuclear waste of the whole world in one spot, but it isn’t open yet.
