One reason people hate nuclear energy is because the owners and operators lie about it every single time there is a failure or a disaster. EVERY TIME.

This constant lying has consequences. The other reason people hate nuclear energy is that owners and operators AREN’T running the plants because they are safe or powerful or reliable—it’s to make money for themselves. And as long as they make money, they don’t care if deadly radiation is pumped into the atmosphere or the ocean.

Is it safe and powerful and clean? Maybe. Maybe not. But the owners, operators and investors cannot be trusted because they always lie.

That’s the answer to your question.
