If only we didn't have those honestly terrifying incidents of 3 Mile Island, Chernobyl and now Fukushima.
Those were human errors (both the workers on site, and the politics behind the outdated plant designs that were promoted by the business of nuclear power and then never adequately updated)... and god we have paid for them. I don't blame the left for freaking the hell out, even though it's to our long term detriment.
Chernobyl was thanks to Russian engineering and Fukushima was thanks to a super old plant built on a terrible spot. 3 mile island was a big problem but the after effects were not nearly as big as originally thought. At the end of the day instead of learning from these mistakes we ran away from the best energy alternative that we currently have.
