    The other ones don’t fail catastrophically like nuclear does.

    BP gulf oil spill.

    The other ones don’t produce waste that is the worst kind of toxicity for Humanity that lasts for hundred of years.

    Fracking, contaminated ground water

      I would still argue those are less catastrophic than Chernobyl, Fukushima, Three Mile Island, etc. Their destructive effects disappear a lot quicker than a nuclear catastrophe negative effect would.

      Having said that, oil is second worse after nuclear. I’m not advocating for oil.

      My hopes are on fusion and solar/battery.

      No form of energy generation is 100% perfect.
