    The sheer quantity of stupid people that exist is staggering.

    And really depressing.

    Because I want to be like ‘who gives a shit what those frothing removed perceive as scary’ but… There are just so many.

    And they are so easy to steer with fear.

    Maybe that’s the trick?

    Try something like “Coal causes abortions and makes white baby Jesus cry!” with a dash of ‘Muslim folks can’t use Nuclear power!’

      It’s not clear what your trying to stay, but if you’re saying that coal is very bad and nuclear power is better, that’s not untrue, but it’s important to remember that the economic pressure right now is against coal and for renewable energy, even in coal country businesses won’t build in a state that won’t explicitly commit to only building renewable energy exclusively for all new ot replacement energy sources. The situation isn’t perfect, there should be more aggressive removal of dirty energy, granted, but nuclear power isn’t the only clean option, and it comes with a lot of risks.
