> and on the other side you have that new "nuclear grassroots movement" which tells me that nuclear power is akshually completely safe, and even if an incident happens it's not doing any harm and btw those Chornobyl death numbers are completely overblown You're making it sound like anyone who's not against nuclear, thinks Chernobyl is overblown I've never heard that sentiment anywhere. (I'm sure you can find examples when looking for it; after all, there's also people who believe vaccines cause bill gates mind control.) Why the strawman argument? | ||

It is actually a very common trope. The "grassroots"-Jesus, Michael Shellenberger, who dominates the arguments being spread by this movement, doesn't get tired to repeat it. He even had to comment on the TV Show Chernobyl: https://www.forbes.com/sites/michaelshellenberger/2019/03/11... https://www.forbes.com/sites/michaelshellenberger/2019/06/06... There are many more. Just google Shellenbeger and Chernobyl. | ||
