This is nihilistic and disrespectful of the actual humans involved. Resistance is a matter of proportion and intensity. A few assholes will complain about wind

Resistance is a matter of proportion and intensity. A few assholes will complain about wind. A lot of people remember Three Mile Island and Chernobyl, and wouldn't care about an eyesore wind farm but would worry about the effects of an accident at a nuclear plant.
You are basically saying that NIMBYs exist and therefore nobody's complaints about nuclear power are valid. Good luck with that attitude.

- marmetio 4y agoThat's not what I said. I even called nuclear dangerous, so how did you conclude that I invalidated concerns besides NIMBYism? Every option has downsides. Every proposal faces opposition. Every project is decided individually. The nuclear advocates don't need a special extra requirement to convince everyone in the world to choose nuclear. They're going to go through the same process as everyone else every time. I said something neutral about nuclear and you invented a personal attack on yourself and reprimanded me for it. Good luck with that attitude, I guess?
- nerdponx 4y ago> Not really. Nobody ever wants power generation in their backyard. Doesn't matter if it's dangerous nuclear or polluting fossil fuel or eye-sore wind. The answer is always one of the same two options: do it anyway, or put it in someone else's backyard. This is what I responded to. It sounds pretty absolute to me.
- marmetio 4y ago> dangerous nuclear That's the same part where I validated other concerns. Wtf is wrong with you
