5. I'm actually familiar with decades of energy soothsaying.

The antinuke community which consists largely of faith based bourgeois airheads who seem not to have noticed that half a century of bullshit ouija board prognostications have left the planet in flames, loves to talk about money.

Even in this they engage in selective attention. For example they routinely ignore the environmental and financial cost of redundancy. They like to cherry pick the cost of their junk systems by isolating them from the total system when the wind is blowing at a summer solstice. If the wind isn't blowing, they couldn't care less who suffers and who dies.

When presented with data that obviously contradicts their now clearly destructive and useless faith, they pull out the ouija board again.

I think the realization that their fantasies are collapsing in flames, the flames of the planet burning, is about to be broadly recognized.

I mean after all the Germans are killing people by burning coal; all of the lives that will be lost might have been saved had they kept their reactors open rather than buy into this endless and deadly horseshit and Tarot card reading by antinukes.
