Talk:Nuclear energy
Chernobyl = species of wormwood in the local dialect (and in Biblical Revelations the star wormwood poisoned one third of the earth). 82.44.143.26 (talk) 17:30, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
- Utter crap. As i shall shortly explain. Totnesmartin (talk) 18:01, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
- Shouldn't there be at least a mention about Chernobyl in the article, though? I think much of today's sentiments and irrational panic against nuclear energy stem from the associated reactor incident, at least regarding Germany, afaik. Nullahnung (talk) 14:37, 13 August 2013 (UTC)
Fault lines[edit]
What's the problem with building nuclear plants on fault lines? Fukushima survived the earthquake just fine. Only reason there were any problems were that they stored the backup diesel generators in basement below sea level.
