But "pro-nuclearism" is just being pro-science and pro-reality. How on Earth can that poison any debate? One side is lying and the other is not and you claim they are equally bad?!



To be in favor of nuclear power you need to ignore the fat tail risk structure.

And nuclear power proponents are using plenty of lies. Like the one where the only alternative to nuclear power is coal power.

What you claim to be "reality" and "science" is just a convenient selection of either. It is entirely rational to claim that the risk of nuclear power is not calculable, and to not have enough appetite to carry that risk.
