62. The argument against breeder reactors is stupid

I *really* don't understand the reactionaries that argue against breeder reactors. It is the height of ignorance to argue that this would augment the proliferation, given that a considerable portion of the nuclear fuel we are burning now is literally dismantled warheads. If we really wanted to build more warheads, everyone wouldn't be burning them.

How could anyone rationally argue that breeders would cause us to build more warheads if we are burning the warheads we have?
