How terrifying looking at these pictures 😲

how much do you ssee & understand resources ?

I don't think the U.S. would put power generators in a basement on the coast of Florida

dang this is an old video, youtube

It's not nuclear power that concerns me; it's the complacency of those who are wielding it.

My father worked at general electric in Schenectady NY.

Indian Point closed in 2021……

Fear doesn't care about reality. It's about feeling safer, not actually being safer.

The sad part is that nuclear power has killed far fewer people than nearly all other forms of energy.

Fukushima was the result of criminal negligence, poor engineering, and ignorance of tepco seeking only profit.

Really great piece until we started asking the geologist about nuclear reactor safety. Thats not his lane. Saying that its on a "recently" discovered fault line and that could cause siesmic issues the plant wasnt built for? Great. Having him explain how a nuclear plant goes boom? Bad. Not his area of science by a LONG SHOT.

I think future history will view us as idiots. Without carbon emissions may be a stretch,,,,,,you build it with big big big big nasty petrol machines, then when every plant needs to dig a hole 6 miles deep to store for 100,000 yrs its waste shit, you think Tonka toys can dig a whole 6 miles deep and a billion cubic feet of Earth wiseguy. The old term don't piss on my head and say its rain applies! All of these are one bad day away from disaster. 47 plants are 💩💩💩

There is SO much speculation and fear in this documentary from people who clearly lack any basic understanding of the technology they're so afraid of. Try educating yourselves on how these systems actually work, and you will see that they are inherently far safer than competing forms of energy generation in terms of environmental impact, climate change, and long-term public health outcomes.

The Rudy Giuliani ad certainly didn't age well…

It doesn't seem like this was a matter of controlling a man made thing as much as it was a force of nature that caused the problem. You don't control the ocean and that wasn't exactly a smart move to put it right close to the ocean.

@OmarCastro-c6v April 17, 2025 - 1:15 pm

So these nuke plants are fusion plants, why not build missions plant, build one fission plant and remove one fission plant before building the next begining now

@daCount0 April 17, 2025 - 1:15 pm

In a normal world, in hours helicopters would bring the generators and fuel.
Why the hell they didn't do this? Sending trucks in an earthquake situation is a mega fail IMHO!

@briankistner4331 April 17, 2025 - 1:15 pm

Is America prepared? HELL NO!!! Who in their right mind would let FEMA oversee such a disaster? And with Trump back, if it's in a Blue state he'll let them all cook not taking into account such a event affects states around where it happened with some of those being Red states. And officials will NEVER tell the truth to its citizens.

Nuclear power is the future we are just going to have to make smarter designs.

Germany is a failing state

Well thanks for the information..😮…

If people listen to their elders, teachers, grandparents, people with historical facts. They could have prevented such damage & dangers.
