...is that the release of any amount of radiation is a tragedy, and every release of stuff that actually kills people, fossil fuel waste, is acceptable.

The world is radioactive; it has always been radioactive and always will be radioactive. In fact, the essential element potassium is radioactive, and one would die without it.

It is simply not true that the release of radioactivity is a massive tragedy, and it is a crime against humanity that this worthless bill of paranoid bullshit has been successfully sold to an illiterate public, killing people.

I covered this - unfortunately reading it would involve understanding called "science," something with which, in my experience, antinukes are almost completely ignorant - in a rather long post in which I pointed to the absurdity of this ignorance, wherein, uneducated antinukes, to repeat the "strawman" that another uneducated antinuke claimed I was making, worry that a radioactive atom from Fukushima will end up in their pernicious brains even though their brains are "smoking" (relatively) with potassium.

It is just stupid, incredibly stupid, to spend $200 billion dollars to "clean up" any nuclear disaster site to a standard that antinukes do not apply to anything else, including the radioactive thorium tailings dumped in Baotou to make magnets for their soul and wilderness destroying rickety wind turbines, almost all of which will be huge liabilities before today's newborns enter college, not there are any antinukes anywhere who give a rat's ass about future generations.

Rather than squander this money, the world should build more nuclear plants. People certainly should not squander the roughly 5 trillion dollars squandered on solar and wind junk in the last 10 years, since this has had no result in addressing the collapse of the planetary atmosphere.

There is no evidence, none, of a "severe" consequence of Fukushima on human life, or for that matter, any form of life, certainly not any evidence of it killing as many people as will die in the next few hours from the unrestricted use of dangerous fossil fuels.

Of course, I have never met, and will never meet, an antinuke who gives a flying fuck about the roughly seven million people who will die this year from air pollution, which breaks down to about 19,000 people per day, 800 people per hour, which further translates, 13 people per minute, meaning in 10 minutes it took to write this post, 130 people died from antinuke ignorance.

The scientific publication which I often link referring to these thoughtless and brainless crimes against humanity, and the standard text I keep of the same whenever an antinuke comes here cheering for air pollution is here:
