Yeah, if the fission industry wants to be taken seriously they need to hire assassins to murder Shellenberger in his sleep. I have some sympathy for the scientific and technical justifications for fission, but I have some doubts about the economics and whether capitalist private utilities can be trusted to operate the reactors. I have zero doubts that Shellenberger is a mendacious tool of the fossil fuel industry who will say or do literally anything that will lead to a repeat appearance on Fox News. Therefore with him on the side of fission I am firmly 100% against it.

The fact that the most publicly visible spokesperson for nuclear energy is regularly on Fox News saying that Climate Change isn't a big deal, is mind blowing to me. That's like it's number one selling point, and their salesman is pretending it's not real.
