@RARohde @rahmstorf I’ll take carbon pollution over nuclear pollution (contamination) any day. There is nothing clean or safe about nuclear. The land’s contaminated by Chernobyl and Fukushima will be unsafe for generations?

Today is April 26, a day when Chernobyl NPP suffered a catastrophic meltdown. I reference Chernobyl a lot in my thesis, for it's on "usage on robotics in disasters". The main thing to take from Chernobyl story is that the event could've been avoided if there was safety culture.
