Liberals believe global warming is dangerous, the obvious solution to global warming is nuclear energy, but nuclear energy is unacceptable because it is even more dangerous than global warming?

Being that nuclear energy is responsible for the deaths of 0 americans and is more dangerous than global warming, is it therefore safe to conclude than global warming will be responsible for the deaths of 0 americans as well?
 
I'm not personally against nuclear power, but it only took about 30 seconds of searching to show that your statistic "nuclear energy is responsible for the deaths of 0 americans" is incorrect.

It also has the potential to be catastrophic (like Chernobyl), so you can easily go from 0 deaths per year to thousands in a single accident with hundreds of thousands of people needing to be relocated. Wikipedia call Chernobyl the most expensive disaster in history.

Nuclear power can be a useful addition to our energy mix, but it will NOT solve our long-term problems and must be done very carefully.

Edit: Sorry if the connection between Uranium mining and nuclear energy was not clear ...I suppose they could be mining it as a colorant for ceramics, but I'm not sure if they use it for that anymore. The point is that the statement is obviously an unsubstantiated exaggeration. I'm sure that there are many many more deaths associated with nuclear energy

It's good that we don't have Chernobyl style plants, but I'm sure the Russians didn't think their reactor was going to explode either. Problems are not always correctly anticipated or dealt with once they occur and that was true for Three Mile Island. It's great that nothing catastrophic happened, but to think such a thing is impossible for US nuclear reactors is incredibly naive. I guess you don't think caution is necessary, but I do.
 
liberals think with their hearts and not their brains, don't confuse them with facts.

My grandady always said "At age 25 if you are not a liberal baffoon, you have no heart. At age 45 if you are not a conservative, you have no brain and should be but in a rest home for aging hippies."

If one person can point to a nuclear disaster that has cause more termoil than the lastest GW scam that has pushe the world into the latest economic disaster, please show us those data points. Line up the global eco problems with the GW scare, BINGO. Speculators drove up oil costs on fear that the GW scare will force prices up. This is a better fit than the Al Gore Hocky stick crap!!!
 
Not only has nuclear power caused 0 deaths in the last 50 years, but shipping nuclear waste and disposing of the waste long term has caused at least 5 times more people to die needlessly.

Nuclear power is so dangerous that it can provide massive amounts of power 24/7/365 unlike solar which is much safer because it only produces power half that time.
 
cost a lot, and a nuclear disastor from a plant would be hell.

Personally i think it's the best idea right now, but i do see the cons
