Nuclear power: Are we too anxious about the risks of radiation?

Radiation is good. Without it we would not have mutation and then there would be nothing for natural selection to operate on. Ergo, if you are against radiation you are against evolution.

QED.

Also, I have shares in companies that can build nuclear power stations in your neighborhood.

Also, because I want to keep driving and heating my uninsulated suburban single-family house while I eat beef 3 times a week and I am starting to realize that this might cause the climate destruction that those econuts warble about I might need to get my power from somewhere else.

Next question?

In general, due to their more recent construction, suburban homes tend to be better than average at insulation when compared to other single family dwellings. That said, given the levels of snark I'm reading I would guess things like "single family dwelling", "family", or even property ownership itself would probably be pretty hot topics for you.

Yes, exactly. More single home dwellings coupled with nuclear power and a complete absence of "snark". That's the ticket! Have you heard about the growth mindset?

I was actually very ignorant to the not very new ideas that Leftists hold about "abolishing the family", even as far back as Marx (maybe even further). Very disturbing

So is it true that Leftists want to abolish the family, or do users here simply think I'm exaggerating?

Right, let's keep burning coal and gas for electricity, instead of getting clean and immensely plentiful electricity from nuclear.

Exactly. The only thing we can keep doing is consuming more and more energy. And who wants to get that from bombing and subverting nations around the world? Not you... you're nice. Not me... I am woke. So, the only thing to do is to build nuclear power stations everywhere.

What could go wrong? Nothing else ever has!

And flying. Don't forget the flying. What the planet needs is more nuclear and more covid.
