When it comes to opinion, I have no problem with people speaking their minds.

But when it comes to the scientific ignorance and misinformation in this thread, I do have a problem with people speaking out their asses. So I wouldn't mind threads like this one going away.

People seem to think they "know" shit they clearly don't, and then try and pass off their opinions as fact.

The scariest part of that is, other people begin believing it, because so and so said so...

And before you know it, people start thinking and believing there must only be ONE sane, rational choice, as has been done in this thread. The originator didn't ask what are some of the best practices we should be looking at to end our addiction to fossil fuels and nukes. Oh no. The proposition here is which is most cost effective and beneficial, nukes or fossil fuels.

It's that sort of irrational, single, narrow paradigm thinking that truly frightens me about the future.
