Boo-hoo. "Scientists are increasingly viewed as advocates aligned with the Democratic Party".

7. Democrats generally don't dispute scientific conclusions on non-scientific grounds

You're right that many physicists or engineers support nuclear energy (I don't know whether or not it's overwhelming). The difference is that Democrats who oppose nuclear energy on policy grounds don't make up their own science. Nobody says that controlled fission doesn't produce heat, which would be comparable to what we've seen from the climate change deniers.
