I understand and support the idea. Even though nuclear power can significantly reduce carbon emissions, it might put lives of millions at risk
It might out millions of lives at risk (extremely low risk) whereas we know that CO2 from burning coal is putting billions of lives at risk.
People are really bad at calculating risk. Everyone will die from climate change. Some people might die from a radioactive leak.
Climate change is this nebulous thing that feels impersonal and a lot of people kind of don't even really believe in so they think it's an acceptable compromise.
