Ahh, 1979. I stand corrected. There's a reason why I wouldn't know about this one. I was still in diapers. This incident wasn't as bad, they caught it, and no one was badly affected. It wasn't meltdown level.

Nuclear power needs highly disciplined, responsible, ethical workers, which are quite lacking in our clown world.

On the left-wing, yes. And that would be most of the world, but not in America, where the right-wing and the Libertarians who have intelligence are the Majority.
Mind you, every country BUT America has had incidents. We do have nuclear plants here in America.
Americans think living in a police state is a victory.
Personally, IDC. Solar power doesn't produce enough power to make enough of a difference. Plus, it's unreliable because of weather. Unless you live in a desert or tropical environment.
Nuclear is far superior, the hazards to the power source is negligible providing you take care of the plant and reactor and take all safety precautions. The only problem with nuclear power is the waste.
