7. They are speaking out of fear and ignorance.

Fear -- justified fear -- of climate change, as well as justified fear that most people are ignorant of the dangers of climate change. And ignorance of the dangers of nuclear power because as brilliant as some of these people are in their own field, they may not be particularly well informed about nuclear issues.

They have every right to warn us about climate change, but unless they show expertise in nuclear matters, they have no more business than anyone else telling us to go that way.

To keep this planet a good habitat for human beings, we need to find a way to do without either fossil fuel or nuclear power. People are afraid to say that because it sounds impossible. But we're going to have to find a way.
