You people always come and compare to oil.

THATS A STRAWMAN NOONE IS ARGUING FOR OIL

yes short term the rising temp by climate gases is prob worse, but you need to compare it to actual alternatives, like wind, water, sun -.-

Everyone fucking knowes that oil needs to be stopped from being used better yesterday then today, but this doesn't make nuclear any better

You people always come and compare different energy sources to one another

Its saying Corona isn't dangerous because cancer is worse.

When the actual comparison should be made between corona and getting a corona antibody shot.

Sure you can compare nuclear with fossils and will see: both lots of downsides bad, we shouldn't use them. The problem is when you stop there, don't compare it to wind, solar, water, and then go around hyping nuclear.

I specifically pointed out that nuclear energy has its issues. Holy crap, you just accused others of strawmanning when they aren't, then strawman yourself.

We're done with this conversation. Nothing productive will come of it. Learn to have a productive conversation instead of stifling others.

Cheers.
