    Does this look poisoned to you?

      Not just plants, wolfs and other animals are quite frequent there also and from studies they have less than 2% birth defects…

      That just shows us, that how huge is the nuclear scare propaganda…

      Yeah it looks bombed-out as fuck to anything more complicated than plant-life. I’m not saying we shouldn’t be pursuing nuclear energy, just that this argument feels very poorly constructed and intentionally misleading.

        It having an inconclusive effect on wildlife, but wildlife clearly being able to survive in the region, doesn’t really detract from what I originally thought.

        From the article you linked:

        “No matter what the consequences of lingering radiation might be, there were massive benefits to people leaving.”

          Yeah I think we both agree that nuclear is worth pursuing, it’s not 100% safe but nothing is; even windmills catch fire or spin apart. It’s far safer than fossil fuels.
