Now do the clean up costs of fossil fuel power generation

Crude oil has been leaking in to the oceans on and off for millennia.

You know what happens to it?

It breaks down.

  • Interesting take to trivialize oil spills.

    Take coal, then. The radiation from coal power alone (excluding accidents) kills more people every single year than nuclear power has killed in its entire existence (even including accidents).

    But you focus on one single thing: Oil spills. The grandparent comment talks of fossile fuels. What about co2?

    Co2 has been leaking out into the atmosphere for many years. You know what happens to it? It stays around basically forever, kills enormously (directly and indirectly), and in fact causes a spiralling effect.
