These daisies have been growing by the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant. Is this what you want to happen to you? That's what Nuclear Power is doing to us.

I don't think nuclear power fans also advocate earthquakes that cause uncontrolled radiation leaks.
Pls show pictures of daisies growing near nuclear power plants that have not been the site of accidents.

This looks a lot like suffering.
In the future all of us will simply be hyper-intelligent blobs of flesh covered with thick meaty penises and moist tight vaginas and instead of war we will all congregate in town centers and roll around all over each other copulating without fear of disease.

So you're saying that nuclear power is safe as long as there aren't any accidents?

While radiation from the Fukushima disaster in 2011 certainly has had an impact on the plant life in the surrounding area, the above-displayed photograph doesn’t necessarily show the mutation of daisies due to nuclear radiation.

Mutation helps drive evolution. All I see in the OP is progress, but maybe I'm just too much of an optimist.

All that those daisies prove is that we shouldn't be dumbasses that build nuclear power plants within reach of tsunamis in an area prone to loving huge earthquakes.

On a serious note, it's crazy that the Fukushima disaster was potentially so much worse than Chernobyl, but appears to been contained much better. You'd think multiple reactors fully melting down and a few more partially melting would practically be the end of Japan, but somehow it's been contained to releasing about 20% as much as Chernobyl did.

Yeah OP. Nuclear power fans advocate nuclear power and not earthquakes. Nice strawman.

Kinda hard to pin it to nuclear power when it happens elsewhere that's not in a radiated area. It seems daisy's growing like this and other fuckups are pretty normal as daisy's are rather complex

That's because as ancient and ill placed as these reactors were they are not one tenth as retarded as the rbmk at Chernobyl.

How many bananas worth of radiation were released from fukushima? Cause that's my favorite unit of radiation, the amount contained in one banana.

Also the same gently caress off huge earthquake that let some bananas worth of radiation escape from fukushima turned an oil refinery up the same coast into an oily smear of unlivable, ecologically hosed land that is basically abandoned but welp no scary ATOMZ OMG loving RUN angle there so it's not news.

The Japanese governemtn has been pretty aggressively covering it up, we really don't know how well the damage has been contained

20% is understating it because amount of radiation released isn't a good metric - it caused infinitely fewer deaths, that is, it didn't cause any deaths. (One old person committed suicide instead of evacuating, if that counts then you have to count the bus driver in brazil who drove into a windmill as a death due to wind power.)

Nuclear power owns and we're never going to harness enough of it to limit the harm of climate change because of idiots like the OP and presidential candidate Bernie Sanders.
