The impact of nuclear accidents is often exaggerated compared to the actual risk, which is relatively low.

People often misunderstand radiation, confusing different types and sources, such as photons from cell phones, which are not as dangerous as they think.

Nuclear power is a viable energy source for generating electricity, especially in areas not prone to extreme natural disasters, and many people fear radiation because they lack understanding of what it truly means, leading to exaggerated perceptions of danger.

Radiation is often used as a tool for fear-mongering, and understanding it better can help combat that fear.

To combat fear of nuclear energy, it's important to understand the actual risks and compare them to other energy sources, like coal, which is far more dangerous.

I visited Fukushima after the disaster, donated a solar power system for a water treatment plant, and ate locally grown vegetables to demonstrate that the risk from radiation is exaggerated.

Nuclear war remains a significant concern, and while we've avoided catastrophic events since World War II, complacency about nuclear threats is dangerous.

America's military power is often overstated; in a nuclear escalation, the U.S. is not as superior as perceived, as all nations would face catastrophic consequences.

The consequences of halting nuclear power due to the precautionary principle have been catastrophic, contributing to geopolitical issues and increased carbon emissions in Europe.
