Environment & Energy

...and thinking level.

I'm extremely unaffected by criticism from people whose ability to read, think, and compare numbers, as in cost and, units, again, of energy (Exajoules), strikes me as questionable.

I'm certainly mature enough to "consider the source" as they say.

It is unsurprising to me to find a reactionary who can't count, demonstrates willful ignorance, criticizing a reactor conceived and designed by one of the finest minds ever to grace this planet, Enrico Fermi.

The contempt for science, engineering and scientists rings loudly in these mindless criticisms.

The world has built more than 500 reactors built on Fermi's initial insights, saving human lives, and slowing, although constrained by the ignorance and selective attention of people who clearly can't tell diarrhea and peanut butter, fewer have been built than might have been built in a wiser world.

Again though, antinukes can't count to 30, the number of Exajoules produced by nuclear energy in an atmosphere of derision by the clueless, never mind to 500.
