    I bet on the day Three Mile Island had the meltdown, hundreds if not thousands of people died due to emissions from coal power.

    The issues with fission are issues with practically. It’s expensive, pretty much. Concerns about meltdowns or waste storage are discussions that need to happen, but they pale in comparison to the damage we already experience every day.

    Hopefully small modular reactors will get popular in remote areas or industrial uses, and that will bring down the price to make them a feasible compliment to renewable energy.

      I don’t disagree about the harm of coal and I am absolutely hoping fusion works out in the long run. All for clean energy!
