gollark: Solar panels, though, aren't great for anything but small off grid systems: they take up tons of space, require large amounts of energy to produce in the first place, stop working after a few decades, and don't produce power all the time.
gollark: Previous accidents have had very low death tolls even including estimates of mildly increased cancer deaths nearby, and would as far as I know be impossible with newer designs.
gollark: > they say that because solar panels can't explode and kill citiesNuclear has literally never done that.
gollark: Downward things include: the ground, grass, floors, underground cabling and pipes, tunnels in some places, the mantle.
