"Do we use the precautionary principle when we run nuclear, build dams and burn coal as well" ayfkm?


Dams bust, nuclear blows up. It's rare but it happens. Their worst case scenarios are worse than a park of batteries burning down on a gravel/concrete park?

Your interpretation seems to be "we don't use caution when building them" which is not what I meant at all, we do but the risk is non-zero.
