Nuclear Powered Morons

Commercial nuclear power is a brilliant intelligence test--sort of like analogue Jaegers versus...not-analogue(?) Jaegers...for punching monsters in the face.  Those supposedly "smart", "liberal", "progressive" "environmentalists" who are "pro science" and in favor of expanded commercial nuclear power generation are the biggest fuckwads in the known universe.  To properly understand how much pollution and greenhouse gasses are released just in the mining and processing of uranium ore alone makes it impossible to be in favor expanding the commercial generation of power using nukes, meaning you are well-informed and staunchly anti-nuclear, unless of course you are a fucking dillhole.  Luckily for the species, Fukushima was a red flag even for the lesser among us.  Only the biggest assholes still believe the nuclear industry's bullshit.

Here's some top of the line inanity from a typical uninformed reject motherfucker from the comments on that original post:

Nuclear power has really been the only way out of our carbon issue for a long time. Which is why people who believe in global warming but are anti nuke should be treated as the same sort of vile evil as people who claim global warming does not exist.

A government initiative isn’t needed, we can use technology that exists and is not 40 damn years old. Oddly enough our friends the French and Canadians have the best tech out there. It’s great stuff and light years ahead of what we used to build. This is because they didn’t have an issue with nuclear freak outs from know nothings who hate science (anti nuke people are worse than tea party anti evolution types when it comes to the science and should be treated worse than them as well) and kept developing the tech.
