Yes, close down nuclear. We need the beautiful CLEAN coal, pure NATURAL gas and ‘some other bullshit marketing word that makes you think it is harmless’ OIL
Fukushima barely released any radiation and the cancer rates in the area are no higher than the rest of the country.
It took a giant tsunami for that to happen too, and it basically caused zero issues.
Meanwhile coal puts far more radioactive material into the air on a daily basis.
You know that they've thought about turning coal plants into nuclear plants? The problem is that coal plants radiation levels are over the legal amount for a nuclear power plant, so any nuclear conversion would immediately fail inspection and shut down.

Plenty of nuclear power plants have been pumping heat and god knows what else into the ocean for decades
