Hi, nuclear engineer here. Your concerns are not based on science and fact. Even counting the nuclear issues you listed, the number of deaths per kWh. Source: https://www.researchgate.net/figure/rates-for-each-energy-source-in-deaths-per-billion-kWh-produced-Source-Updated_tbl2_272406182 (although based on your other opinions I don’t know that a scientific article will have much bearing to change your mind).

Also, you’ll hate Pittsburgh if you are against the “tyranny” of vaccination, masking, and lockdowns(although there are many people who probably think like you out in the other parts of the state). Additionally, with the fracking that occurs in Pennsylvania, there is still chance for water contamination and pollution.

OP raises valid concerns even if they do believe the steam is smoke.

What tyrant of masking, lockdowns, and vaccinations in Pittsburgh? We haven’t had any of those things in like a year and a half.

It's really fucked up that people aren't masking anymore. We have a significant portion of our society that are unable to safely leave their homes due to risk of COVID infection still.

Butler County is nice to live in and only 30-45 minutes if you want to go into Pittsburgh for an event.

Deaths per KWh makes sense when considering public policy, but it is the wrong measure for one person evaluating the risk of relocating. OP shouldn't care at all how much power the plant produces.

Does this include the pollution that discarded solar panels cause? If they end up in landfill, do they cause water pollution?
