All run by human beings, who make human errors.

Once again, we cap our liability for nuclear disasters at less than $1billion in the West, the cost of Chernobyl was over 20 billion.

The point is that if nuclear plants were to be held liable for all their potential damages and not just a fraction, the costs of insuring them would be prohibitively high.

Considering the potential damages of burning coal includes the extinction of the human race, I don’t think that liability is exactly covered either.
