51 Sailors from USS Ronald Reagan Suffering Thyroid Cancer, Leukemia, Brain Tumors After

57. Really? Besides being an expert on lawyered up fantasy epidemiology...

...you now feel qualified to announce that all liberals are anti-nukes.

One can never be too shocked at what dribbles out of the mouths of anti-nukes, who spend their days trying to prove that someone, anyone, died from Fukushima, so as to justify all the oil, coal and gas they've burned to prove the not provable point.

As for humanism and decency, two things defining the liberal viewpoint:

Each person of course, makes his or her own judgments of what qualifies as decency. For me, decency was always represented by the 25th article of the Declaration of Human Rights, written by Eleanor Roosevelt and approved by the United Nations in 1948, albeit, regrettably, being honored more in breach than in practice.

It reads as follows:

(1) Everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for the health and well-being of himself and of his family, including food, clothing, housing and medical care and necessary social services, and the right to security in the event of unemployment, sickness, disability, widowhood, old age or other lack of livelihood in circumstances beyond his control.

Now, I would wager that someone who has pushed, in service of fear and ignorance, to double the electricity rates in Germany isn't actually working to provide a right to a standard of living adequate to health and well being, at least not for poor people.

...Neither is an oblivious fool of the type who, on a planet where more than 2 billion people have never operated a flush toilet, keeps pushing the world to spend hundreds of billions of euros, hundreds of billions of dollars, trillions of yen and yuan on a faith based solar scheme that can't even produce one exajoule of the 538 exajoules humanity consumed in 2011 (with a higher amount) almost certainly being consumed in 2013...

...we won't even comment about the people living in low lying areas facing the effects of climate change...

...or the more than 3 million people who die each year from indoor air pollution as a result of using "renewable biomass..."

If I were you, I'd stick to hawking $137,500 BMW i8 sports cars for millionaires and billionaires.

You know as much about liberalism, especially as defined in Article 25 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, as you know about energy and epidemiology, which is not much.

For the record, the inventors of nuclear reactors, men like Fermi, Wigner, Weinberg, Dyson were mostly liberals, all of them smarter - infinitely so - than the little dogmatic scientifically illiterate anti-nukes who populate this space. There is not one anti-nuke on this website who could pass a college level physics course, zero, zip.

Thanks for the comment and for contributing to this festival of fear and ignorance. If nothing else, you're consistent, which would be amusing were it not so dire.

Have a nice evening.
