9. Bullshit. I am arguing, as always, with "I'm not an antinuke" antinukes, who, as noted, don't give a fuck about...

...fossil fuels.

I note that concern about extreme global heating is a recent "add-on" to the scammers selling wind and solar power. It was always about attacking nuclear energy on grounds they attach to nothing else.

One of the fun things about antinukes, particularly those who pay lip service to "concern" about the climate, is they can neither read nor think very well.

Well, it would be fun, but their selective attention has left the world in flames.

Even were they able to read or think, they would misrepresent, as they have done repeatedly in this forum, what their real focus is.

Usually, in the current example, when confronted with the fact that coal plants are Rankine cycle plants, and thus require the exchange of heat and, in fact, often have cooling towers, they change the subject to something like nonsense statements about what the World Nuclear Association does, writes and advocates.

There are zero antinukes who are familiar with the World Nuclear Association which is a force for fighting ignorance, and only someone who knows zero about nuclear power other than the fact that they hate it - and couldn't care less about fossil fuels - could claim that I am arguing with them.

I'm been staring down antinukes for close to 40 years, ever since I understood the consequences of the failure of the Chernobyl reactor and compared those consequences of everything else. I know their ignorance, their lack of education, their indifference to tragedy very, very, very well. It's why I keep a Word document with standard responses to their bullshit chanted dogma.

Have a nice evening.
