Some people use the argument that nuclear power is OK because Chernobyl only happened because of incompetence. That's the whole point! In my view, that is an argument AGAINST nuclear power.
Incompetence and human error will always happen. It will happen again, eventually. That's why we can't have a power source, with the potential to leave a continent poisoned for thousands of years, relying on the competence or lack of sabotage of human beings.
Go ahead nukies, downvote away, you dogmatic idiots.
