If you want to get serious about managing climate change, you need to support nuclear energy. @Greenpeace is delusional on this issue. Here a moderately funny Dutch guy explains why nuclear is great, in just 19 minutes. (Turn on YouTube subtitles if you don't understand Dutch).https://twitter.com/sapinker/status/1075580990289035270 …

Netherland's John Oliver, Arjen Lubach, makes a hilarious (and cogent) case for nuclear energy. This sketch has been credited with tipping the Dutch to favor nuclear power. https://youtu.be/YjFWiMJdotM via @YouTube

I agree with you on this. The arguments against nuclear are two: 1. Nuclear bombs are dangerous. 2. Radiation is scary. Both emotional arguments. Reality: Nuclear plants are well-engineered by thoughtful people working practical realities with a long history of success.

Can you name all of the other nuclear plants that have not yet had problems? When you can, I'll respond to your challenge. Humans have the natural instinct on focussing on what is dangerous, while ignoring what is good, which is my point and GMs. Make a rational case.

Still suffering the effects of Fukishima, Chernobyl still uninhabitable. Do you live within 30 miles of a nuclear plant as I do? I do not need to make a case or do your research for you, Twitter is a social media commentary site.

"I do not need to make a case or do your research for you, Twitter is a social media commentary site." Read: I have no argument. Then, just say so. "Do you live within 30 miles of a nuclear plant as I do?" Used to live within visual distance of one.

What is the total, the failure rate of Nuclear power plants, world wide? Since 1952, globally, a total of 10 incidents less than 50 dead. Compare that to linemen who die of electrical shock, or guys who work on oil rigs. Nuclear is pretty darned safe.
