I do not care if he is paid as an expert. The fools who do so are buying what they want, not what the science says.
I am against nuclear power, but I am equally against idiot ideologues like Arnie "Dumb as a bag of hammers" Gundersen.
If you are going to make an argument against nukes, at least get the fucking science right.
Gundersen is hopeless to his own cause. He allows his easily falsified claims give comfort to supporters of nuclear power.
If one is against nukes, why would one support this guy? Merely because he says scary things about it? What if those scary things aren't true? Where does your position stand when you pin your arguments to a fraud?
I would rather pin my opinions on the facts, not opinion.
The science says that Gundersen is wrong on nearly all of his conclusions. Nevertheless, the Fukushima Daiichi situation is a huge disaster. But fear mongering is not going to help matters.
Why would any sane person want to portray it worse than it actually is? Given that many of his claims have been falsified, one might want to ask Arnie Gundersen that question.
