If you listen to the people on Lemmy, everything is incompatible with capitalism. So do we cower in the corner and hope the problems away?

The amount of death and destruction attributable to all nuclear accidents since we figured out fission is barely statistically significant when compared to fossil fuel consumption.

Regulatory agencies can and do keep accidents from happening. Not always, because people are both stupid and corrupt. But mostly.

Capitalism isn’t going away any time soon. Maybe in a post fusion world, we’ll cross the threshold of post-scarcity too. Until that happens, we do the best we can with the tools at our disposal.

You could make the same argument about literally anything. Capitalism caused the 737Max disasters. You want to give up planes?

Science doesn’t change just because some groups try to use it to forward an agenda.

Nice strawman you got there. Get it on sale?
