Climate scientist to state: Where's the nuclear power?

Nuclear power requires boiling water to turn a steam turbine. Meltdowns are extremely rare (as in less than a percent of nuclear reactors and the last one was in 2011 due to a MASSIVE earthquake and subsequent tsunami. The area of the Fukushima disaster is now habitable again) and there’s many systems and sub systems to prevent meltdowns. And with new reactors, there’s improved safety measures and designs (despite them already being massive fortresses). So, to put it into perspective: Out of 625 reactors worldwide, 5 were shutdown due to accident that caused little to no damage. 3 caused a disaster (through meltdown), only one of which the effects still linger to this day. I like those odds for efficient, renewable, clean energy.
