...nuclear energy who know anything more about it than that they hate it.

They are therefore being Trumpian when they discuss nuclear energy; pontificating on a subject they know nothing about.

If nuclear power had killed in more than half a century of commercial operations as many people as will die in the next two days from air pollution while we waiting insipidly for so called "renewable energy" to displace fossil fuels, people would be burning oil, gas and coal endlessly to spew ignorance all over the internet.
