With such arguments, there really is no point having a discussion. You know that's not the advantages I was referring to (since they're in the very next sentence you're quoting) and you're ignoring that completely.
- pydry 5y agoI bring it up because while it looms large in the minds of policymakers and is a large factor in their decision-making it almost never gets discussed in the media. The question of who insures nuclear plants (always taxpayers) is likewise something else that is always curiously whitewashed out of American media. Most of the advantages other than the nuclear arsenal one, on the other hand, are repeated frequently and are very well known.
