I think I see a contradiction .....

[oldhippie]

If this is supposed to be a safe haven for the anti-nucs, then how can discussion of " ... , whether or not nuclear energy can ever be made truly safe ..." be allowed? Wouldn't arguing that nucs could be made safe be a pro-nuc sentiment?

1. And it's already being trolled by a "pro-nuke" pretending to be "anti-nuke". nt

2. Are we allowed to call people trolls here?

News to me.

3. I noticed that too

To me it seemed they wanted both safe haven (mutual admiration society) but at the same time have an open discussion (debate, new ideas and theories).

This subject can be as heated as gun-control and just like gun-control I seldom hear of anyone with an open mind you are either for it or against it and little new information will ever change any one's mind.

Just a suggestion reword the description, either make it a safe-haven for anti-nukes or a place to discuss nuclear energy.

4. coal is worse

5. Not really

If this is supposed to be a safe haven for the anti-nucs, then how can discussion of " ... , whether or not nuclear energy can ever be made truly safe ..." be allowed? Wouldn't arguing that nucs could be made safe be a pro-nuc sentiment?

Whether they can be made safe or not is a question of physics and fact, regardless of if someone is pro or anti.
For instance, even a fervent "pro-lifer" might acknowledge abortions are generally safe but still be anti.
