When it was decommissioned, it had already been in operations for decades beyond the end of it’s initial operating license, and was rated among the ten most dangerous nuclear reactor facilities anywhere on earth by the worlds foremost independent nuclear watchdog groups. Which is not at all to say or even *suggest* that fossil fuels are anything besides a crime against nature and humanity that needs immediate phase-out. What I’m saying is that ***we need to (re) learn how to live on this planet entirely within the mean annual solar energy budget***.
