In 1976, if you must know, I was a stupid ignorant anti-nuke, just like the stupid ignorant anti-nukes here today.

Then I got an education.

The fact is, kiddie, that a conservative is, by definition, a person who refuses to change his or her mind about anything.

Getting a lecture from a dumb anti-nuke who uncritically repeats 35 year old horseshit, is like getting a lecture from George Wallace on the civil rights.

Last week Switzerland announced a consortium of its utilities intend to build new nuclear power plants. China began to manufacture components for AP-1000's indigenously. Finland announced plans to build new reactors.

They don't care what conservatives think about 35 year old horseshit from dumb guys who repeat cant year after year after year after year after year about their solar and wind fantasies.

Lovins advocated wildcat coal. I quoted the reference. Neither he nor any of the coal greenwashing anti-nukes here give a fuck about climate change. If they did, they wouldn't have the ignorance to come here, in 2011 and rail mindlessly against the world's largest, by far, source of climate change gas free energy.

Here's what I predict for the coming year. It will pass, and 2012 will come, and we'll still be hearing mindless anti-nuke bull. Solar will still not produce an exajoule in this country. The gas interests that pay Lovins salary so he can live in Snowmass will still be fracking. And serious people - who don't hate nuclear science out of ignorance much as creationists who hate molecular biology out of ignorance - will still be announcing new nuclear capacity.

Have a nice cut and paste 2011.
