It blows up though.

[renaudg]

Yeah and planes crash and it's spectacular, but they're still the safest means of transportation by far.

[osigurdson]

Planes are fast though. Even if less safe that cars we would still use them.

And nuclear is cheap. It is literally free energy.

[osigurdson]

If someone gifts you the facility and the staff work for free then maybe.

[saagarjha]

Generally it does not. Makes a lot of people upset if things don’t work out, sure.

[osigurdson]

Agree. Usually it doesn't blow up but sometimes does. When it does, all of the squirrels in the area get 3 eyes and 5 legs.

More accurately they suffer defects and die.

Then there is Chernobyl which now has healthier and more diverse wildlife than much of the world because humans have evacuated.

[osigurdson]

Chernobyl was good then?

[smileysteve]

In the micro, no, see the part about death.

In the macro, it created a nature preserve that humans will barely visit, won't hunt in, won't deforest; and requires no active enforcement to keep that way.

[adastra22]

You have a strange, anti human morality.

[osigurdson]

So positive NPV in a sense?

[Alifatisk]

How often does such incident occur?

[osigurdson]

Not often but sometimes.
