I hate to say it, but regardless of one’s stance, on his back should be “Public perception of Fukushima, Chernobyl, and 3-mile Island.”
I say regardless of one’s stance, because even if the public’s perceptions are off…when we remember those incidents but not how much time was in between them or the relative infrequency of disasters, they can have outsized effects on public attitude.
It’s not a great idea from the risk. If future governments let the windmills fall into disrepair, all that happens is windmills are useless. They can never accidently summon centuries of nuclear winter.
It’s not clear what your trying to stay, but if you’re saying that coal is very bad and nuclear power is better, that’s not untrue, but it’s important to remember that the economic pressure right now is against coal and for renewable energy, even in coal country businesses won’t build in a state that won’t explicitly commit to only building renewable energy exclusively for all new ot replacement energy sources. The situation isn’t perfect, there should be more aggressive removal of dirty energy, granted, but nuclear power isn’t the only clean option, and it comes with a lot of risks.

Didn’t you hear about that about that wind turbine that exploded and spread wind all over a dozen farmer’s fields? /s

The sheer quantity of stupid people that exist is staggering.
And really depressing.
Because I want to be like ‘who gives a shit what those frothing retards perceive as scary’ but… There are just so many.
And they are so easy to steer with fear.
Maybe that’s the trick?
Try something like “Coal causes abortions and makes white baby Jesus cry!” with a dash of ‘Muslim folks can’t use Nuclear power!’
Yeah that really convinces me. I’m stupid so ill switch to your point of view
