Following up on my talk on @KennedyNation about nuclear energy.
Nuclear is exponentially safer than fossil fuels, and this data is skewed against nuclear because many governments (like the US) make the creation of newer, safer nuclear plants cost-prohibitive.

The only forms safer than nuclear are wind, hydro & solar. Wind/solar rely on optimal weather, so they can't consistently sustain the grid. Using them leads to more fossil fuel burning to fill the gaps.
Hydro is safe and sustainable, but they can only be built in a few places.

This is one of those tweets that probably won't go anywhere because it isn't on a trending topic and isn't very sexy.
But it has a graph, and correctly uses the word "exponentially", and I'm happy about that.

This chart shows that nuclear also produces fewer greenhouse gasses per TWh than any other form of energy, including solar and wind.
