Post by: Marlin on Dec 13, 2018, 06:49

This one is a little long but I think worth the read.

If the threat of "global decimation due to man-made global warming" convinces the kool-aid drinking environmentalists to support nuclear power then so be it. ;)


Oh yeah, a little long? I was about half way through when I decided to scroll to the bottom to decide if I was going to make it to the end.

I'm thinking it won't now, as it hasn't for thirty years. Of course, when the Indian Chinese Russian Energy Consortium decrees it to be so, then (and only then) will the "kool-aid drinking environmentalists" support nuclear generation.
