> Please don't assume that everyone who is pro-nuclear is anti-solar It's more that there is a rabid pro-nuclear segment who will try and silence anything less than unfettered praise for nuclear. Anecdotally, I can simply mention the bojective fact that the clean up for Fukushima will likely approach or even exceed $1 trillion [1] and I know what reaction I'll get. The same goes for pointing out the very real problem of neutron energy loss from fusion (let alone the resulting destruction of the containment vessel) to the point where I'm not convinced fusion will ever be commercially viable and you get the same reaction. So I can't speak to you personally but as a whole the nuclear fanboys, even on HN, absolutely do not tolerate even mild factual criticism or objective facts that paint nuclear in anything less than a glowing light (pun intended).
