        What do you have against nuclear ? I’m an engineer working in the electricity generation space. My opinion is based on lived industry experience and education. Are you one of the people who thinks we just need solar and that’s it?

          The fact that you have to ask what is wrong with nuclear, kind of suggests a lot about you. Either believing in falsities, or dishonest. So which is it mister or misses engineer?

          The fact that you brought up being an engineer like that gives you special insight into nuclear, just further suggests you are deficient in either quality or honesty frankly.

            How silly of doctors to think they have some special insight into diseases and human biology. How silly of exterminators to think they have some special insight into the habits of pests. How silly of novelists to think they have some special insight into story structure. How silly of oompa loompas to think they have some special insight into sweets and vanishing children.

              Any full witted person knows the experts work at the mercy of the oligarchy, and are the last ones to be trusted. You are either not full witted, or dishonest.

              As I said, nuclear trade groups have funded hard charging influence operations, on lemmy too. Are you a tool of theirs, or just weak minded? That’s rhetorical, I don’t care what you think or say, I don’t think you are a real person and if you are, are not a serious learned person. Now piss off.

            I’m presenting myself as someone who genuinely knows what they are talking about. Not a rando with poorly informed opinions. I’ve been working in generation for 10+ years. I’m a mechanical engineer qualified to operate in nuclear power plants. I’ve spent considerable time learning about them and visited several in order to be qualified (licensure). If it didn’t require me to relocate, I’d be working in one right now. That’s the “special insight” actual insight, education and experience. You wrote a lot of words but managed to have zero substance. What about nuclear power makes it a problem in your opinion? I’m willing to talk to you about it.

            The fact that you dodge the question instead of providing literally any example suggests you don’t have any great examples.

              I don’t argue with clankers, influence agents, or their dupes. Not more than I have to. You are clearly not a [redacted] person.

                Then why not just shut the fuck up if you’re not gonna say anything useful? Stroking your ego publicly and insulting others is less than useless.

        I’m trying to recall the last Nuclear emergency we had involving U.S. Military aircraft carriers or submarines or massive nuclear weapons stockpile.

        Where’s the propaganda?

          Oh the nuclear trade groups have been on an aggressive public relations campaign, replete with social media influence operations and bots and shit.

          It’s way worse than you think.
