If there was a nuclear plant disaster, then GDP would be a false beacon because it would account for government spending but not for the pollution caused.
<h3>Why would GDP be a false beacon?</h3>
Two of the components of GDP are government spending and private investment.
If there is a nuclear plant disaster, either the government will spend a lot to clean it up, or a private company will depending on if the plant is public or private.
GDP would therefore increase.
This would be a false beacon however, because this increase would not take into account the nuclear pollution that would have occurred that would negatively impact future production.
