>he people protesting for Green Energy but think a Nuclear Reactor is one accident away from recreating Fukushima

It literally is. The pendulum is swinging too far in the opposite direction. Now people are acting like nuclear energy is completely safe. Or saying stupid shit like the only reason accidents happen is because of poor planning or cutting corners. No shit. Both those things are a universal constant in human behaviour, so they have to be considered! Not to mention that climate change/increased natural disasters is the actual number 1 threat to nuclear power plants because they have to be built on rivers to get water for cooling.

Nuclear energy is not a panacea and comes with a litany of drawbacks just like all other energy sources.
