...the last decade alone has not caused that pathetic scam to scale to 1/5 the scale in terms of delivered energy to which the nuclear industry scaled 30 years ago.
It is rather laughable, to the point of absurdity to say nuclear advocates are being utopian, when the grotesque failure of so called "renewable energy" is written so clearly in the planetary atmosphere every time the concentration of carbon dioxide is measured as it is many times a day, all over the planet.
If the nuclear incur were to scale by a factor of 40 - which it won't do because ignorance is now an unstoppable force of destruction - it would be producing more than 1000 exajoules per year, nearly twice the current consumption from all the world's energy supply from all the world's energy sources, including the coal, gas, and oil about which antinukes don't care while humanity waits, like the heros wait in Beckett's absurdist play for Godot, for the grand renewable nirvana that no pile of wasted money can deliver.
I can't say whether it's amusing or appalling when clearly illiterate people attempt to summarize an argument which features points that are entirely beyond their weak knowledge base.
Nuclear energy provides about 28 exajoules of primary energy. The expensive, failed, toxic and unsustainable solar and wind industries after half a century of cheering, chanting, prayer, pleading, and incessant demands on scarce resources, both material and financial, don't produce 5 exajoules combined.
Current world energy demand is thought to be on the order of 560 exajoules.
As for war, when was the last nuclear war? The shit heads who allow the fossil fuel tragedy to continue unabated because they want to whine through science fictions about nuclear wars, never call for bans on oil, even though oil wars occur pretty much continuously.
Of the last million people to die in the violence of war, how many were killed as a result of petroleum diverted to make weapons of mass destruction?
One wonders if anti-nukes know that they are being intellectually dishonest or whether they're simply too stupid to know what honesty might be. Speaking only for myself, having encountered the insipid statements of so many of them, I am inclined to believe the latter.
Have a nice day tommorrow.
