Time for them to bring out the super coal!
I think that’s called uranium

Yikes. TIL
In a way yes, but only in the sense that nuclear waste is supposed to be well contained and stored for disposal. Still, the accidents are not taken into account, at least in the studies I took a look at. If you have any that says otherwise, please share.
I wouldn't go so far as to call the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone a "nature preserve," but...
in a similar note, the DMZ is also very similar, a nature safe haven for endemic species, that was largely extirpated from the rest of both koreas.
Super Coal is the same thing as Clean Coal, which is coal soaked in kerosene.
We've already got uranium. I think super coal is unobtainium.
“Unobtainium” is such a stupid nameium.
