One caveat: Source of electricity generation! The cheapest source of energy is still fossil if you take fuels into account, a major part of our total energy consumption.

Yes, but the whole format, while technically containing truths, it practically made to sell lies.

Myth: We don't put radium in toothpaste anymore, because it is radioactive.

Fact: Bananas are also radioactive, but you don't see warning labels on them.

Myth: Don't let children play with radium, because it's bad for their health.

Fact: Sunlight also causes cancer, but parents still let their children play outside.
