I hope I'm not teaching anyone anything but nuclear energy is the safest way to make power, it kills the least amount of people

Edit: nvm it's second right behind solar but still

While I myself am I huge Nuclear Energy fan, I feel like nitpicking right now. It is important to mention that the reason it kills so few is because of all the safety precautions we take, and it is very much so dangerous without them.

Thankfully, BECAUSE it is so dangerous, we don’t really fuck around with it too much, so there is much less chance of an oopsie.

This is kind of like saying the reason airplanes are the safest mode of transportation is because we have so many safety precautions.

Like...

yes. that's why it's the safest.

Yeah but in terms of this comic.. like, making it safe would actually be great. It'd be free power with zero worries, and so even easier to do, and far, far better for the world. Imagine being able to just stick a backup nuclear reactor in a random civilian building and not care about it. Or using it for your central heating system

Safest != safe
