Under 3.4 Casualties, the third bullet post does not reference any deaths, just vandalism. Perhaps this could be part of, or the beginning of some other subsection. 173.164.68.154 (talk) 11:11, 8 April 2018 (UTC)George Neally
Reference 71 Issues
"There is a wide range of published energy-related studies which conclude that energy efficiency programs and renewable power technologies are a better energy option than nuclear power plants. This diverse range of studies come from many different sources, across the political spectrum, and from various academic disciplines, which suggests that there is a consensus among many independent, non-partisan energy experts that nuclear power plants are a poor way to produce electrical power. [71]"
Reference 71 leads to (a) a seemingly unrelated Reaction Time article, and (b) two books, one from 1975 with plenty of incorrect predictions (such as the unreliability of nuclear) and the other from 2011, the only relevant and rigorous research. This surely does not support the rather bold statements about "different sources", and a "consensus". Nuclear energy is a heated topic, but regardless of one's opinion the article seems to overstep its boundaries supported by citations here. As such, until better sources are provided, I have changed the section to the following:
"There are some energy-related studies which conclude that energy efficiency programs and renewable power technologies are a better energy option than nuclear power plants. [1]"
