Nuclear energy might be a failed experiment. In over sixty years the technology has not only failed to keep its promise of cheap, clean and safe energy, it also caused major catastrophes and enabled more nuclear weapons while the nuclear waste problem is still not solved.

3 Reasons Why Nuclear Energy Is Terrible!

Comments

choicest

These are issues with policy, not the technology itself. Awesome.

Sergio Uribe

Misleading title, should be: nuclear energy is great, but he human technology to produce it is terrible. In fact, anything in the universe wouldn't be here without nuclear energy. And in the earth the technology to extract energy from coal and rivers has killed more people than nuclear technology (Fukushima deaths? 0 or 1, Coal miners death? See by yourself: <a href="http://www.msha.gov/stats/centurystats/coalstats.asp" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://www.msha.gov/stats/centurystats/coalstats.asp</a> ). Usually the videos are great, but this one was low.

If we just had made a positive video to balance this one out. Oh wait we have! ; )

Sergio Uribe

well, fortunately even patroning with the amount that you stated that you will add my name to your creations, you didn't, so thanks ;)

That would be on next months video. This video is still part of the March "video series".

Well I think it's at least *slightly* pedantic to fault somebody for using a phrase in it's most commonly used context of "expressed a a choice I (in this case humanity) makes, how does this impact me?". ;)

Sorry if I wasn't clear, but english isn't my primary language, hence, to be absolutely clear: creo que es inapropiado titular el video pues la culpa no es de la energía nuclear sino de las tecnologías desarrolladas por el hombre para producir energía nuclear. Incluyendo las muertes por desastres nucleares e incluso por las bombas atómicas, ha muerto menos gente a consecuencia de la energía nuclear que la que ha muerto por la producción de otras energías, como el carbón o el petroleo. Sin incluir las guerras que estas fuentes "tradicionales" han provocado. ;)

Sergio, i think it get your point of view but you need a reference, nothing is good or bad if you don't have a "who" in the sentence, in this case the "Terrible" is related to Human Life.
