I don't think insults are called for, but I directionally agree that protests against atomic power, largely based on needless fear and lack of understanding, caused the world a lot of damage. If we could compare the world we have today to the counterfactual where anti-nuclear protests hadn't stopped progress, I believe a lot of people would be ashamed of their actions. Some already are. But the net effect of the anti-nuclear movement was to prolong the use of fossil fuels by many critical decades.
- mc32 2y agoI am angry because if it had not been for her and the movement that rode on her coattails, we'd long have been weened substantially from fossil fuels and we'd be in a very different world today. She caused this. She is not even owning it; though it can't be undone. She is responsible for more damage to the environment than GW Bush or Shell Oil. People don't realize the magnitude of the damage she inflicted.
