Fukushima Reactor 1 melted down, 2 and 3 may have too

"If anything, Fukushima is an example of how little attention we should pay to the anti-nuclear movement"

I think the opposite. I recall many many people on this site asserting with absolute certainty that nothing bad could happen at Fukushima immediately after the earthquake. Anyone that suggested otherwise was demonized as an uninformed faermonger.

I'm not anti nuclear, I think it's a better option than coal, but the pro nuke people have done the cause a great disservice with their wrongness and refusal to cop to it.

Reread this for one example, and tell me which side sounds as if it doesn't deserve attention.

Remember: Nobody has died as a result of nuclear electrical generation. Rooftop solar panels are more dangerous than a molten down reactor, and more people die on bicycles.

Is this sarcasm? Rooftop solar panels have never caused an evacuation. Bicycle accidents tie up traffic for a few hours at worst. Yes people die but that's hardly the only dimension of interest.

It is :)

Hacker News nuke threads are almost as puzzling to me as BitCoin threads, but I keep coming back for some reason.

It's sarcasm, but I had to look at his comment history to figure that out.
