25. One of the interesting things about anti-nukes is how willing they are to display ignorance.

Not much else about them is particularly interesting.

People who actually know something know, for instance, the half-life of strontium isotopes, americium isotopes and the solubility of plutonium.

It's not like the people who reference these elements in extreme ignorance give enough of a shit about the world to look these things up.

They just don't give a fuck. It shows.

I do know these things because I do give a fuck:

828 Underground Nuclear Tests, Plutonium Migration in Nevada, Dunning, Kruger, Strawmen, and Tunnels

Of course, I'm a scientist, not a bourgeois dumb shit who couldn't bother to open a book.

Informed people know what's in the tanks at Fukushima. Toxic dumb chanting shits just make stuff up.

The results of extreme ignorance, ignorance unafraid to parade itself, are in:

Here they are:

May 19: 420.29 ppm
May 18: 420.16 ppm
May 17: 421.64 ppm
May 16: 421.72 ppm
May 15: 421.84 ppm

Stronium...a million years...you don't say...

Jesus Christ! One sees and hears these kinds of things, but one really can't believe it.

Perhaps anti-nukes think I should congratulate them on the wonderful results of climate change and of course, on the roughly 70 to 80 million people killed by air pollution while they forced their eyebrows through their anal sphincters whining insipidly about Fukushima. These 70 to 80 people died unnecessarily because we don't use nuclear power, this sick result coming from paeans to the abysmally ignorant, but I happen to give a shit about the world.

I don't congratulate stupidity though. No apology for that position will be offered.

Nuclear energy saves lives:

Prevented Mortality and Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Historical and Projected Nuclear Power (Pushker A. Kharecha* and James E. Hansen Environ. Sci. Technol., 2013, 47 (9), pp 4889–4895)

That's a fact. Facts matter. It follows from that fact that anti-nuke ignorance kills people.

Have a wonderful weekend.
