Posted in: As Japan re-embraces nuclear power, safety warnings persist See in context
The trouble with the usual criticism of the "dangers" of nuclear power plants, is that the public exposure to actual toxins for the same amount of power is always larger for any reliable alternative. Wind power and solar power need gas turbine backup that even running on idle, emits more poison in the form of nitrogen oxides, than nuclear does. The acid gas emissions, not counting the carbon dioxide, from the substitute power caused by the loss of the Fukushima Daiichi reactors, by now can be seen by the air quality deterioration as worse than the hypothetical damage from the remaining radioactivity.
