gollark: Opposing it got considered "green" somehow by the magic of political dimensionality reduction and if that hadn't happened it might be more popular.
gollark: Quite possibly.
gollark: I guess evacuation kind of counts as that?
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.
