Why You’re Wrong About Nuclear Power

The evidence is clear: nuclear power is the most efficient and safest form of energy we have. And we should have more of it.

*Thanks for watching, nerds.* CORRECTION: Graph on ARIA should be Deaths per 1, 000 TWh, but conclusion is the same, relatively speaking.

I've been wanting to make this video for a long time. Share it if it resonates.

At my university is a Nuclear Reactor. A friend of mine works at it and says that a guy at a donut shop said he could tell the reactor was currently on because he had a headache. The reactor had been shut for 2 months due to unexpected maintenance. People are idiots

“Why you’re wrong about nuclear” excuse me sir I clicked to confirm by bias that nuclear is awesome

Nuclear power is like airline transport. It's the safest, but if there's an accident, it's all over the press, and people are terrified.

Important to remember that the oil industry supports the promotion of renewables like solar and wind as a divide and rule tactic to undermine nuclear power, because they know solar and wind won't practically compete with oil because of intermittency and energy density issues, but they WILL take resources away from nuclear which could wipe the floor with fossil fuels if people weren't afraid of it.

Nuclear power in a nutshell: 10, 000 years of human technological advancement to boil water.

As a Nuclear engineering student, I'm very excited to start boiling water for a living

In 1969 after 5 days in the hospital under an oxygen tent the doctor told my father that if he didn't get me out of Northern Alabama I wouldn't survive another asthma attack. The air was so bad from the coke, steal and power plants that the pollution was like fog. We moved to the Gulf Coast where a constant breeze kept the air fresh. The Clean Air Act went a long way to solving the problem but it illustrates the effect coal has on public health.

My fiancé told me to watch this because he knew I was scared of nuclear power. Im glad I watched this! You totally changed my mind. Thank you

Imagine walking through the park and you see Kyle squat down, press record on his phone, then bury it under a little bit of dirt. He starts talking to himself, and then immediately unburies his phone. He then talks to it for a minute and puts it back. Then picks it up again, stops the recording, looks around, and walks away whistling with his hands in his pockets.

Best line about nuclear power:
Can I survive swimming in the cooling water?
No, you’d be dead in seconds, from the gunshot wounds.

Maine when they had a nuclear plant, the Governor would be exposed to more radiation from all the granite around him than the average plant worker.

[VoiceDisasterNz]

I've lived nearby a nuclear power plant for over 10 years and had no idea. No smog or anything

The biggest and most heartbreaking takeaway from this is that my car hasn't been running on dinosaurs this whole time. This has rocked me to my core.

Favorite quote about nuclear power:
“Nuclear fission is a hell of a way to boil water” -Karl Grossman

[MsSwitchblade]

Kyle, I will admit that before I started watching your videos, I was grossly misiformed and uneducated on the issue of nuclear energy. I wasn't against it, it was worse...I had no opinion. I think apathy is much more detrimental to such an important issue. I thank you for making these videos. They've made me realize just how dangerous pop culture and the media are in the sense that they influence the public to barely consider viable options to solve our energy crisis. If we can get enough people educated on nuclear energy resulting in a paradigm shift, then everyone can quickly go back to NPC-mode and let nuclear scientists, engineers and others, work in the background of their existence, making the planet a better place to live in.

As someone who comes from a family of coal miners and oil field workers, I understand why it’s important to us. It’s mainly the jobs and the fear of having no replacement and even less jobs in the Region of Appalachia right now. If we could have something to replace what we’d loose I think a lot of people would be happy. Then again there are a lot of people who are ignorant about nuclear energy. Personally I’m all for it. Coal raised my dad, his brothers, his sisters, and oil raised me. But for a better world, I want fission or fusion to raise my kids.

I always wanted Thor to explain to me why nuclear power is good

Finally someone brave enough to say what we've all been thinking. No Airpods do not make you look cool.

[bryceosborne]

It astounds me people get more upset over the imagined threat from nuclear power than from the very real active danger from fossil fuels
