    Bet you’d feel* differently if you were a resident of one of the island nations that’s going to drown in the next decade or two. That part of the world’s definitely going to be uninhabitable if we continue to do nothing.

      So installing a nuclear reactor in my province where we have ample hydro electric power options would save that island?

      It’s like you are yell at everyone saying nuclear power or die. There are lots of options to clean reliable energy. In some cases nuclear will be the best option but not always.

        You called me suspicious so here I am fulfilling that expectation. Here’s a fucking great video on why dams, and therefore hydro power, are dangerous and ecologically damaging. The only point I was trying to make is that your argument against nuclear, that it might cause an area of land to become uninhabitable, is flawed. Dams always make an area of land uninhabitable.

        I’m not that pro-nuclear. You just made a shitty comparison ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

        Edit: Also if you think hydro is the solution, again, more uninhabitable land. Dams are their own ecological disaster.
