About how advocates of nuclear energy are largely at fault for why the public debate about it is as stuck as it is (outdated reactors, no clear solution for dealing with waste etc.), because they've consistently overstated their certainty in how safe the technology is.

About how advocates of nuclear energy are largely at fault for why the public debate about it is as stuck as it is (outdated reactors, no clear solution for dealing with waste etc.), because they've consistently overstated their certainty in how safe the technology is.
The illustration contains both the old reactors and tech being torn down, as well as the new reactors being built along with a democratic meeting full of various people from different careers and classes discussing the future and beneath them the storage of waste deep within the earth. Illustrated with pentel brush pen, and digitally colored.
