If we're gonna compare... CO2 dissipates but nuclear accidents cost $100B+ to cleanup and decades - to Sally Average voters, Fukushima was the third strike (after 3 mile island and fukushima): if the Japanese can't safely operate nuclear, then no way is Sally gonna trust Homer Simpson. And even if she can believe, good luck explaining to her friends and family, let alone potential renters and buyers of her largest financial asset (the house).

Sally Average won't allow nuclear in her backyard, for all backyards in the US.

The Simpsons and its consequences have been a disaster for nuclear power, and the human race.

The Simpsons is a reflection of sentiment, not a driver of opinion.

The show aired years after the anti-nuclear movement started having real effects on the industry.

Sorry, let me amend.

Nuclear bros like to invent absurd reasons for why nuclear power is not being adopted.

> CO2 dissipates

CO2 accumulates in the atmosphere where it acts as a greenhouse gas. How much is this going to cost us in the long run?
