11. Whenever someone promoting nuclear tries to misrepresent the relative external costs
Edited on Sun Aug-23-09 03:10 PM by kristopher
Whenever someone dedicated to a massive build-out of nuclear reactors tries to misrepresent the relative external costs of solar to nuclear - THAT person has an "agenda".

THAT person's behavior should be seen as having a similarity to certain fundamentalists in that:
The person allows a predetermined preference to dictate what information they consider relevant - rejecting a perspective that is a true match with the known facts.

In other words they unfailingly lie to themselves and others.


Comparing the external costs of solar energy or wind energy to EITHER nuclear energy or fossil fuel energy is like comparing a hangnail to an amputation.
