3. One of the fun things about anti-nukes is the similarity they have to antvaxxers

An antivaxxer, of course, will take a rare event, say a strong reaction of some person somewhere to a vaccine and magnify to attempt to justify the unnecessary deaths of millions of people from Covid, selective attention equivalent to the anti-nukes use of muttering the word "Chernobyl" to justify deaths from air pollution, now thought to range between six and seven million people per year.

This means that people whining about Chernobyl are directly responsible for promoting the deaths of 210 to 240 million people since Chernobyl.

Anti-nukes couldn't care less.

They are so stupid that they think their muttering "Chernobyl" means something, and it does, but not what they think it does. It means that their contempt for humanity knows no bounds.

For them, Chernobyl means that nuclear energy is "too dangerous" but air pollution and climate change is acceptable while they wait in their idiot little fool aeries for the wind and solar miracle that did not come, is not here and won't come, this after half a century of mindless prattling and hype and the squandering of trillions of dollars on this chimeric fantasy to promote mining and world dependence on fracking dangerous natural gas.

Nuclear engineers, who are highly educated people with a deep level of knowledge, really don't care the obsession's ignoramuses have with Chernobyl, which is easily engineered away, just as aerospace engineers engineer away aircraft failures, the latter, failures of aircraft, having killed far more people than have more than half a century of commercial nuclear experience.

Anti-nukes have the critical thinking skills and moral depth of a lemon, by which I don't mean to insult lemons with the comparison. Lemons after all have value.

There is no way to raise the intellectual or moral level of anti-nukes anymore than there is any way to raise the intellectual or moral level of anti-vaxxers. They are precisely equivalent.

Fortunately the Romanian government couldn't give a rats ass about ignoramuses. They care about the dangers of climate change, even if, as is clear, anti-nukes don't.
