Do you expect the average politician to be highly educated about when a nuclear meltdown in progress becomes dangerous enough to evacuate?
Do you think politicians should be brave about the lives of others when faced with a nuclear meltdown? You can be brave with your own life -- that's your choice for sure -- but asking political leaders to risk the lives of hundreds of thousands of people just in order to make sure nuclear has a good name, seems quite off. Asking people to not be "cowardly" when faced with an actual nuclear meltdown in progress sounds more like a sociopath than of a leader tasked with the responsibility to protect people.
Has any political leader ever had to be brave about a solar power plant disaster? Can you even name a solar power plant disaster?
It absolutely was media hysteria. Add "stupid and cowardly politicians" if you like. I'd be okay with that.
