Compared to fossil fuels and biomass nuclear fission is one to two orders of magnitude better for human health than fossil fuels or biomass per TWh produced

Nuclear energy has a stigma even though the facts are clear is for sure a psychological issue, it's something invisible that you can't see or hear and it kills you silently so is like the definition of death so people fear it. I personally am not against this source of energy and sure they can have accidents but tomorrow a meteorite could also fall and we all died. People should start to trust more in the nuclear industry, CO2 is the worst poison.

What ???
This can't be tru...

Wait it is

WTF :)

When nuclear power strikes, it strikes hard. But it's pretty safe otherwise

Although, everything you comment and the graphic reflects is possible. I particularly am in favor of alternative energies that do not really produce any kind of damage to health. There are already many alternative forms of clean energies,

What forms do you have in mind?

Wave energy to produce electricity.

There are previous experiences that use this same technology in the Azores and Scotland; but that of Euskadi is the first commercial center connected to the electricity network.

How well will it scale? Also, waves depend on wind conditions. Waves can't provide baseload power unless transmitted over long distances.

Since I live in a coastal area, where this type of energy can be exploited, conduct an investigation of that. and I throw myself as a result that would be an inexhaustible source. for me that would be on a large scale, but as you and I well know, you always need investment from private or state resources. the only thing that would slow it down is like the friend @andkill says,

but tomorrow a meteorite could also fall and we all died.

There are always waves. of great magnitude or of small mangintud, The installation consists of a series of cameras inserted inside the dike, with cavities exposed to the waves. When the wave reaches the dike, the water presses upwards the air of these chambers, so that it exits under pressure through the upper hole until reaching a turbine.

Whao. This is good. I guess its because of the cost of production of this nuclear power that has made it not too widely produced in many countries.

I think it's mostly irrational fear.
