      You realise that death isn’t the only bad thing that can happen to you? I’d say crippling you and future generations for life is worse than death.

          No it’s not! It’s a minuscule step forward which will achieve no change whatsoever for the average person except an INCREASE in the amount of carcinogenic compounds in the atmosphere!

          The massive step forward would be not needing boiling water and not needing to burn any fuel whatsoever to produce energy. That would be a “massive” step forward, not nuclear.

          And btw, water vapour is a greenhouse gas too.

            Nuclear isn’t exactly ‘burning fuel’, at least not in a traditional sense. But I guess you just mean that as ‘consuming a finite, non-renewable ressource’ which it still does.

            No disagreement, I’m just here to nitpick that bit of phrasing.
