They always seem compelled to share their malign views on the future of humanity.
I am well aware that they are unwilling to invest in the future; that they hold future generations in contempt, and are perfectly willing to leave them useless rotting junk to clean up - the hulks of wilderness destroyed to make industrial parks for wind turbines, abandoned mines dug to service low energy to mass reactionary fantasies the rotting waste of semiconductors, a destroyed atmosphere, all of because their moral educations are no better than their engineering or scientific educations or for that matter, their economic educations.
The damage done by this mentality is extreme as the extreme temperatures killing people, and still, and still, and still...
Still they continue to loudly proclaim their ignorant nonsense, whining about the "cost" of "cleaning up" Three Mile Island for 43 years while hundreds of millions of people died from air pollution in the same period, carrying on about the "cost" of the Vogtle reactors because of the nuclear infrastructure they cheered to destroy, and not giving a flying fuck about the "cost" of climate change.
At least, I've had anti-nukes here try to convince me that they're not anti-nukes, because apparently it's finally become obvious that anti-nukism kills people, this on a vast scale. Apparently being an anti-nuke is rapidly losing credibility, again, too little, too late.
More than credibility has been lost however. Human lives have been lost. And, finally, the atmosphere is collapsing, people are dying from extreme heat, crops around the world are failing, and the specter of famine is rising.
What do anti-nukes want to talk about during this outcome. Oh, I don't know... How about the cost of building the Vogtle reactors because the ignorance of anti-nukes has been applied to destroy nuclear manufacturing infrastructure?
Oh, and anti-nukes should not try to lecture me on French nuclear policy. EDF is bleeding money, apparently because the Hollande administration set up rules that rather than invest in the uprating of nuclear reactors, the money from the golden goose, the French nuclear infrastructure, needed to be diverted to wind and solar, a useless chimera that has left Europe hostage to a Russian imperialist with a thirst for blood matched only by his access to German money to fund that thirst.
One thing I'll say for anti-nukes is that they are entirely unashamed of lacking a sense of decency, almost to a Trumpian level. They seem to have a sense of themselves as being "very stable geniuses." There are almost none who are unwilling to present themselves as reification of the Dunning Kruger syndrome.
Their knowledge of economics is as weak as is their knowledge of engineering, of environmental science, and certainly ethics.
Anti-nukes are a rather disgusting bunch, but again, you have to admire their willingness to so loudly proclaim that they just don't give a shit about humanity.
I assure anyone who wants to know that I know who and what they are.
