Actually, I knew that someone would bring this up. Those were old-generation nuclear plants. And the Japanese plant was located in a vulnerable location. Today the US's biggest aircraft carrier is powered by a somewhat small nuclear reactor. And the same with submarines. That is what Oliver Stone presented at Davos to the world's pre-eminent business people. Also, I am sure that gas and even coal power plants have had accidents. And as the Chinese found out the hard way, coal burning causes air pollution detrimental to human health. And as I have said before, the pollution drifts upward and ends up causing Global Warming of the type that is increasing at a dangerous rate for the last 8 years.
