Absofuckinlutely. Every policy the world has followed regarding nuclear power has relied on a distinctly fragile premise: that no insane person would get near it. Time to get over that now.

Today would be a very good day to stop the construction of new nuclear power plants and move to decommission nuclear power plants throughout the world.

But that’s the problem. It’s like saying planes are safe. Of course they are; the vast majority of crashes are human error. But when you’re talking about a nuclear reactor, the risk is too high. Human error - or insanity - is not an option.

If the world got together and said that’s IT: no more fossil fuel extraction & no more nuclear (until we get fusion), we’re going to go full on green and we’re going to do it very quickly, then we could. The billions we spend now on fossil fuel extraction and nuclear would do it.
