Dangerous.

(Well, this is England, so that part of the sky where the sun should
be ...)

And one reason why it might not be dangerous.

So even looking straight at the sun is dangerous and that's
141,600,000 miles away. Exposing your unprotected skin to it,
especially for prolonged periods is dangerous. Radiation of all types
can be dangerous, even to whole planets.

But that doesn't mean I'm scared of the sun, it means I take
precautions re the impact of the sun on me, including keeping out of
it.

A good few thousand square miles of Wales and the surrounding areas of
England / Scotland weren't able to move away from the radiation
fallout from something that went wrong 2000 miles away.

Am I 'scared' of Chernobyl? Not particularly, but am I right to
question the use of such technologies to produce power rather than to
invest in more research and effort re the development of alternatives,
of course, just as I am keen we look to animal-free sources of food
over the continuation of the pain and suffering some continue to cause
to innocent creatures when there are already alternatives that remove
that.

But it's obvious the likes of Turnip is terrified of vegans, given the
number of times *he* throws such into the conversation. Guilt maybe?
