22. You'll never deal with the realities of nuclear power:
That Uranium is a finite resource.

That Uranium mining is environmentally destructive.

That the cost of building enough reactors to make a dent in global warming would bankrupt every country on earth.

That nuclear reactors are used to enrich plutonium for weapons systems.

That there is no plan for containing nuclear waste for the life of it's extreme toxicity.

That nuclear power reactors leak radiation that has measurable health effects on populations living downwind.

That Uranium mining sickens and kills human communities and wildlife communities, poisons aquifers, and leaves radioactive waste behind.

That we're already running out of real uranium ore, and the new mining techniques to extract the crumbs are even worse than the old ones.

You can't address these issues, and won't, except to direct four letter expletives at anyone who raises them, and claim that you are the only intelligent and educated person in the group. You're not.

But go ahead and continue ranting. It has a certain kind of entertainment value, like Jerry Springer or Nascar...
