re: #127 SixDegrees

Is there something wrong with nuke plants? They are the cleanest, most environmentally friendly source of energy, no matter how you calculate such things.

Burning coal will release far more radioactive material into the environment than a continent’s worth of nuclear plants ever will, no matter how much ‘scrubbing’ you do.

Yes. The greens watermelons commie rat bastards don’t like them because they’re nukular or something.

No. No reason to fear nuclear generating systems. Just amorphous feelings of fear that have to be cultivated.

Personally, I’d cultivate fear of what happens if we don’t have inexpensive and abundant energy.

But what the hell do I know…
