Climate activists are usually very against nuclear energy and I don’t think I understand why. Does anyone know?
Arguments I’m somewhat familiar with:
- sometimes it’s used as a cover for developing nuclear weapons
- nuclear waste is very bad for living things.
What are the main historical moral arguments?
We can’t trust the industry not to cut corners when it comes to safety and waste management. We can’t trust the government to effectively regulate the industry. The consequences of disasters (however rare) are catastrophic.
