It's petty/antagonistic to pretend you don't know that people even make honest arguments against nuclear at all (i.e. that it's purely political). You may certainly disagree with them - I do.
- neverrroot 3y agoI know exactly what the drawbacks of nuclear energy are. I still see it as the best reliable source we have, with the lowest fatality track out of all energy sources, once you factor in facts/everything. Especially the hidden costs of solar power and wind power on the environment (through e.g. dirty energy and chemicals used during their production, or lack of recycling) is overall something that is understated in the grand scheme of things. And on top of that, they are not reliable with regard to energy production, so they are not even in the same ballpark as nuclear.
- lokar 3y agoThe critique of your comment was not that you don’t know of the drawbacks, but that you imply opponents don’t. You say their opposition is “political “, commonly a way to deride an argument as lacking real substance.
