    Unfortunately it’s like the lottery, and fear of flying. You can explain the odds and the history until you’re blue in the face but it doesn’t mean anything when somebody sees a documentary and it fills their whole psyche with terror. And you can try to explain that there are safer plant designs out there and that being careful about where you put a plant is a big deal, but the only thing they’re going to walk away from the conversation with is Chernobyl, Fukushima in Three Mile Island.
