    Ah, those activists wouldn’t talk about that mostly, they’d talk about boom and radioactive pollution in places their audience lived in.

    Leftists caring about minorities and oppressed communities anyplace far from themselves are a notable rarity.

    And since the replacements were coal, oil and gas, which are just as dirty, I’d say your argument isn’t worth shit.

      That’s funny.

      So you’re willing to move within 1 mile of a uranium mine and live there and drink the well water from that property?

      Or are you just willing to sacrifice others for your luxurious lifestyle?

      There are alternatives other than continuing to expand our consumption of fossil or nuclear fuels. Hell, most of them don’t even require lifestyle changes from the majority of the population.

        No, but it’s the same with gold mines, copper mines, coal, ohoho, oil, ahaha, etc. Scale matters, and in scale for the same amount of energy nuclear gives the least pollution.

        Also I invite you to live near a lithium mine.
