2. Gee, that's only two years before Amory Lovins told us we'd be solar powered and nuclear

free by 2000, and that nuclear power was dying.

Does this "John Holden says" bull from 1974 demonstrate that there is one dumb fundie anti-nuke who has ever found one person injured by the alleged hazards of spent nuclear fuel?

No?

Does "John Holden said in 1974" bring back even ONE of the more than 20 million people who, um, died from the "hazards of dangerous fossil fuels" that all of our anti-nuke fundies didn't card about?

How about this one: Does John Holden holding the same office that John Marburger held, make him, um smarter than say, Hans Bethe or Enrico Fermi, if we have to do stupid appeal to authority arguments?

Basically a fundie is a person whose ideas are not subject to change by any amount of information and whose ideas are exactly the same in 2009 as they were in 1974.

Mostly the stupid anti-nukes here are all, in my mind, the sort of disco boppers in polyester suits that consume, consume and consume.

Their mentality is very, very, very, very, very, very, very seventies. There is NOT ONE fundie anti-nuke on this website who I regard as anything other than high and hallucinatory. Almost every anti-nuke has been hallucinating all kinds of deaths from nuclear power.

Nuclear power is not perfect. It is not risk free. It doesn't need to be perfect or risk free to be vastly superior to all the stuff that dumb fundies don't care about, including the dangerous fossil fuels that lead the tens of millions of people dying since 1974.

A a nice, dumb http://www.nizkor.org/features/fallacies/appeal-to-authority.html">Appeal to Authority day and be sure to share as much http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=228&topic_id=56734&mesg_id=56734">fundie pseudoscience and you can present in your spectacular appeals to fantasy.

3. I am SO HAPPY...

that the Republican's lost the election!!!

Now, the money they would have spent on nuclear power plants and coal plants they wanted to build will instead go towards restructuring our grid and transitioning to clean, abundant renewable energy - the largest and most enduring, by far, energy resources on the planet.

Isn't that GREAT???


I think it is.
