The media has frequently been screaming about the dangers of one of the nuclear powerplants in Ukraine being targeted and damaged in the war.
A dirty nuke, radiation over Europe the scenarios being discussed are plentiful.
To me this seems to be the best argument to not invest and rely on nuclear powerplants going forward.
Ukraine has several other types of power generators / plants that are not featured much in the media. The exception being hydropower when a dam was damaged.
The argument “There will never be a war here” seems foolish to me.
