I have never or written that nuclear energy has never killed anyone.

But you write,

Then you want me to believe that nuclear energy hasn't killed anyone.


You are, from what I can tell, all filled up with "beliefs." My opinion is that you have never let knowledge crowd your beliefs, and so clearly you're beyond hope if one is seeking people to actually give a shit about the world.

I don't actually want you to do anything, except to continuously expose, in an amusing way, the quality of the anti-nuke mind. This you do very, very, very, very, very well, and I certainly appreciate it.

What I have said repeatedly, and will continue to say, because, um, it's true, is that more than half a century of nuclear operations has not killed as many people as will die from air pollution in the next two days.

Nuclear energy, as I often say, need not be perfect to be vastly superior to everything else. It only needs to be vastly superior to everything else.

I note that seven million people die each year, 70 million per decade from air pollution repeatedly as well. People called "scientists" use this data to make a statement that nuclear energy is essential to save lives, since it doesn't cause air pollution, and by preventing air pollution, saves lives.

I know you don't "believe" it, but it is an incontrovertible fact. Jim Inhofe doesn't "believe" in human generated climate change, but that is also a fact. You're in the same boat with that guy, in my less than humble opinion.

Since you apparently know nothing about science or scientists, we have no worry that their work will interfere with your "beliefs."

Have a nice evening. And do drop by to giggle even as 8,000 people die today from air pollution, a fact about which you clearly couldn't care less.
