Let’s talk about the most dangerous energy source on earth. The World Health Organization blames it for 29 percent of all lung cancers, 24 percent of strokes, a quarter of all heart disease, and 43 percent of chronic lung infections all of which could be prevented. Making electricity by burning fossil fuels produces invisible particles that fill up the sky like a bucket, trapping the sun’s heat and choking rivers, plants, and animals like us. Worst of all, the fossil fuel is coal, yet the companies who burn it are not required to take care of their waste. Meanwhile, what might be the safest power source we have, by many countable metrics, is forced to make highly detailed plans for its spent fuel. We are talking, of course, about nuclear energy.
