We simply ignore all the deaths and environmental destruction caused by fossil fuels.

Nuclear power, even with the few accidents that have occurred over the years, is much less dangerous.

This was a stupid movie, and we live in a stupid nation. Just look at our current president...

I used to be an anti-nuclear activist, quite an intense and radical one, but I'm not anymore.

Sorry about being so negative in the Lounge.

I'll move on now.
