It doesn’t matter whether or not that picture is propaganda. There are enough pictures of women fleeing with their children, and that is not propaganda.

The fear, as I said, is not based on the safety of nuclear energy per se. It is based on the fact that human beings have not yet evolved to a place of wisdom and moral responsibility as a species that makes this a zero-risk proposition. There is literally no room for error here.

We can disagree about an ultimate conclusion here, but there's no way you can call the fear "inexplicable" or "illogical."
If the world got together and said that’s IT: no more fossil fuel extraction & no more nuclear (until we get fusion), we’re going to go full on green and we’re going to do it very quickly, then we could. The billions we spend now on fossil fuel extraction and nuclear would do it.

It IS possible if we make it possible. It’s only a lack of political will that keeps humanity from making the urgently needed immediate just transition from dirty to clean energy.

But that’s the problem. It’s like saying planes are safe. Of course they are; the vast majority of crashes are human error. But when you’re talking about a nuclear reactor, the risk is too high. Human error - or insanity - is not an option.

Spies are trained to fool you, Mr. President. Second instance we know of when you obviously didn’t read the intel.

Every time I see a picture of a woman fleeing Ukraine with her children, I think of the additional trauma she’s experiencing leaving her husband, lover, brother, father, other friends behind.

Absofuckinlutely. Every policy the world has followed regarding nuclear power has relied on a distinctly fragile premise: that no insane person would get near it.
Time to get over that now.
Today would be a very good day to stop the construction of new nuclear power plants and move to decommission nuclear power plants throughout the world.
