are u for or aginast nuclear weapons/energy

although nuclear weapons are a threat to humanity, nuclear energy is still very help. it produces massive amounts of energy but a accidental mistake can lead to a huge disater.

so wat do u guys think, im really interested in opions.

p.s. despite the threats im pro nuclear energy use. its a neccesity for humanity's progression

That's propaganda, pure and simple, from extremists, environmentalist wackos, and out-and-out Luddites whose every utterance can be predicted if one assumes they are scientific illiterates whose fondest desire is to see all of First World civilization to go down into the darkness ASAP but are not yet quite willing to say so aloud.

The American educational establishment doesn't help matters by lowering standards and dumbing down the textbooks every year.  And the American newsmedia is populated almost entirely by scientific illiterates who lean politically far to the left, who therefore  believe and enthusiastically repeat as gospel whatever the screaming greenies want to spoon-feed them, whether it's about "global warming," nuclear power, the so-called "hole" in the ozone layer, or any of the other DANGERS! and CRISES! and EMERGENCIES! humanity faces today, whether it's radio waves from cell phones, genetically engineered foodstuffs, electromagnetic fields around high-tension power lines, or a glass of tap water containing three atoms of arsenic and five atoms of lead.  Unknown hazards!  SAVE THE CHILDREN!  Someone must DOOOOOOOOOO something about this!  It's URGENT!  (psst! Back to the caves, RIGHT NOW! But this time, without even fire, flint or animal skins!)

It's cheap fearmongering, pure and simple.

I wonder about the sanity of the hard-core True Believers.  These same people, if they'd been born a hundred and fifty years ago, would be wandering around the streets of major cities, unwashed and pop-eyed, ringing bells and carrying signs that said, "REPENT! THE END OF THE WORLD IS NIGH!"

If I were a conspiracy theorist, I'd say that governments find this kind of propaganda very useful.  Keep people terrified of imaginary bogeymen, and it's much easier to control them.

Back in the 1970s, Amory Lovins, the head of California's most influential "anti-nuclear group" said during a press conference, "The only physics I ever took was Ex-lax."  And he was proud of this.  He also said that scientists and engineers should not speak publicly about the issue, "because they have a vested interest."  Read that carefully and think about it--anyone who knows what he's talking about should shut up, and only people who have no idea what they're talking about have a right to speak.  That's positively Orwellian, and par for the course for the screaming greenies.

Those who have learned to think critically and examine scientific claims in a scientific context of empirical truth are not taken in, but there are fewer of us every year.
