anyway
I had a discussion with my dad about how we need to use nuclear energy as a transition, and it went in one ear and out the other

my dad: "would you want to live next to a nuclear power plant?"
me: "i mean no??? but would you rather live next to a fossil fuel plant?"
him: "it's a different risk."
me: "yeah, and it's a risk that's significantly lower than that of living next to a fossil fuel plant."
him: "you can't compare them. it's a different risk"
me: "they're actually very easy to compare. if you look at stats"

*sigh*

If you go to Philly near the bridge you will see a coal burning plant and there are these huge pillars of smoke coming out, in total unrelation that area has high lung cancer.

what a coincidence
