Environment & Energy

Zero from zeros.

Nuclear energy doesn't have to be risk free to be superior to everything else, including living in a fucking cave. It only needs to be superior to everything else, which it is.

Nuclear energy saves lives:

It follows that antinuke ignorance kills people.

I note it has also left the planet in flames.

I'm usually aware that I am dealing with a fool, when, on this anonymous they have to tell me they have a degree in something or another. Having a degree does not excuse one from being ignorant. I often interact with holders of Ph.D degrees who are entirely ignorant on most things, even subjects for which they hold their degree. Sometimes, when someone needs to tell me about their "degree" I shake my head thinking how narrow education has become.

Ok, dude?
