After 48 years, Democrats endorse nuclear energy in platform
For the uninitiated, nuclear power is actually much, <i>much</i> safer than it was in the previous century, and fossil fuel power plants have killed exponentially more people through pollution than all nuclear power accidents combined – it's just not something that happens all at once so it doesn't seem like a big deal to most people.<p>We will not be able to "defeat" climate change and keep this planet inhabitable for future generations without mass adoption of nuclear power.<p>> <i>Nuclear energy is by far the safest energy source in this comparison – it results in more than 442 times fewer deaths than the 'dirtiest' forms of coal; 330 times fewer than coal; 250 times less than oil; and 38 times fewer than gas.</i><p><a href="https://ourworldindata.org/safest-sources-of-energy" rel="nofollow">https://ourworldindata.org/safest-sources-of-energy</a>
