They are safe. anyone who says they’re not is a loon. And let’s bring up Hiroshima and Nagasaki, just for aggression.
I will say, I have noticed, since the late 1970s when Long Island Lighting Company demanded the same trust of the locals that you demand of all American nuclear plant constructors, their supporters and all those who say nuclear power is safe, that there is an aggression and a condescending tone. Rush takes it on. All the Long Island boys who supported it (and lost handily) I remember them. Very nasty and aggressive, like you.
In fact watch this argument go on for days, with a nastier tone.
Meanwhile, Shoreham Nuke plant sits vacant. No one was able to win over the protectors of that region with their bullying.
Those housewives were content to put up with aggressive bullies, if it meant they would never have to worry about the incompetence of the people they’d worked with for generations and know how far they could be trusted to not cut corners.
so, you really ought to save your effort.
“so, you really ought to save your effort.”
I really don’t mind trying to educate folks. You’re entitled to your own opinions, just not your own facts.
I’m quite concerned the Luddite anti-nuclear crowd is going to derail America’s (and possibly mankind’s) push out into the solar system. A fantastic future awaits if only we have the nerve to go for it.
I do hope LENR pans out - a guilt-free high intensity energy source would be great too!
