After 48 years, Democrats endorse nuclear energy in platform
For the uninitiated, nuclear power is actually much, much 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.We will not be able to "defeat" climate change and keep this planet inhabitable for future generations without mass adoption of nuclear power.> 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.https://ourworldindata.org/safest-sources-of-energy
