Why? Perhaps additional serious nuclear accidents (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_and_radiation_accident...) were avoided because nuclear plants were never built.


Almost certainly nuclear accidents & other externalities were avoided. But would those have been more costly than the costs of fossil fuels (e.g. international conflicts, tens or hundreds of gigatonnes of CO2, many other contaminants, oil spills, etc.)?


We will never know. Stop acting like you know the wrong decision was made because the sports team you bet against made it.
