    Yeah I'm gonna start it.
    Anyone calling for nuclear energy at this point has worms for brains. Not just worms in their brains, but their brain is entirely composed of worms. Let's ignore the times we almost ended life on half a continent, the absolutely insane treatment of nuclear waste, and the fact that we still don't even have a permanent solution for nuclear waste anywhere on the planet (there's ONE in Finland that's almost up and ready. But it's been almost ready for 20 years)

    For now we'll focus solely on the fact that it's literally not necessary. There is no reason. Sorry, no REAL reason (I'm sure you're going to come at me with something wrong about base loads), that most of the world couldn't function on 100% renewable energy. But even if we couldn't do that, even if we had to use non renewable energy, nuclear is a fucking pointless exercise because we'd run out of fissible material in an astonishingly short time if we tried going all nuclear.

      Ignoring all this (which is all ringing true) the entire thing about activists and greenpeace is just a scapegoat for the oil companies, do you think the USA gets off nuclear energy just because of hippies??? And Greenpeace??? I dont buy it for a second, theyre just a convenient enemy to point to. Its like saying "Oh man, its too bad people just didnt like the electric car. Couldnt do it, doesnt have anything to do with big oil, sorry".

      Punch "generation 4 reactor" into a search engine and get back to me when you have anti-nuclear talking points relevant to this millennia.

        Not a single thing I've said has been rendered irrelevant or will be rendered irrelevant in the foreseeable future

        So how about this: How about you get a talking point based in real shit that exists

          Let’s ignore the times we almost ended life on half a continent

          Here's a single thing. Now go do your investigation.

            I have actually looked into nuclear reactors enough to have an opinion on a shitposting website, whereas you haven't gotten an opinion based in real actually existing technology and facilities. In fact the fact that I have "investigated" this as you call it, is the reason why I am using that specific critique

            This is because you are arguing from the point of a sci fi story.
            And if you don't get yourself a real argument, all my responses will be "Cool story bro" from now on

              I'd love to see what you consider trite after each of these replies I've gotten

                  At least I have the honesty to not write paragraphs when all I have to say is "I'm right for no reason but I say so"

                  What little substance you actually produced boils down to :very-intelligent: "It doesn't exist so you shouldn't make it"

                  So yeah. Go fucking read 5 minutes worth of research or shut the fuck up about it. Your answer is trite. Like you've never argued about this without reverting to your lazy debatebro shit

                      It's like I never left :reddit-logo:

                      Why don't you go back where you'll fit in better?

                        A truly embarrassing post to make in the wake of getting prissy about being a fanboy for sci fi nuclear power.

                          :so-true: once again you have replied to me which confirms everything I said about you. I'm from reddit.
