15. I do not now, nor have I ever

I see you around constantly defending nukes, and nuke power plants, in posts all over DU and just wondered why that was?

Because I support a substantial increase in nuclear power and renewables to replace coal (and eventually gas) for electricity generation to combat climate change and pollution. More importantly... because the other side of the argument regularly includes this type of nonense and I prefer that democrats not remain in such ignorance. It's entirely acceptable to oppose nuclear power, but not to fall for such ridiculous nonsense.

You don't seriously think that the only people who support nuclear power work for the industry... do you?
