Because it isn't? What you're spewing out here is quasi-religious drivel, with no more connection to the real world than the jihadists' delusion about their 70 virgins,

Chernobyl will kill 40,000 humans. Fukushima will kill 400,000.

No, they won't. As has been pointed out innumerable times, Chernobyl killed something under 100 people - about the number US coal plants kill in a week, and Chinese plants kill in a few hours. Fukushima has killed no one through radiation, though there were a few deaths due to the quake itself. And here's the ironic stupidity: people are scared to death of the radiation, but quite willing to move back into the tsunami zone.

I'm very sick and tired of hearing over and over again about how we cant keep building dirty coal fired plants in America when they are now shutting down because natural gas prices have plummeted and now the gas fired plants can generate more electricity than coal plants.

Are you also under the delusion that natural gas power plants don't also emit large quantities of CO2?
