After years of wrangling, France has set out a new energy law that slashes its wind and solar power targets and drops a mandate for state-run energy provider EDF to shut down nuclear plants.

    Without sinking to your level I will limit myself to say:
    I am not the idiot here.

      I wasn’t refering to you personally.

      I was refering mostly to the anti-nuclear crusaders from the 70’s and 80’s who were so anti-war, they figured “Nuclear bomb bad, so nuclear bad”, and decided that civilian powerplants were building bombs without any evidence (or even basic understanding) and thus everything related to nuclear power was the devil and needed to stop.

      Of course, if you do believe that or their propaganda, I actually was talking to you. The maths aren’t hard though, you can do them yourself. The nuclear industry is incredibly transparent and you can google almost anything. That, of course, makes it very prone to lies and deliberate misinterpretation, for example when people say there are huge amount of nuclear waste! (which is sort-of-true, but the overwhelmingly vast majority of it is low-level).
