Well, nothing worth responding to here. Time to mine the recent past for material.

For those who want to read a bunch of bullshit, follow the link. It’s quite amazing that even now, despite the overwhelming and irrefutable evidence, the true nuclear believer actually believes nuclear reactors are safe. And cheap. And clean.

At some point it becomes clear that there is no level of disaster that will convince them otherwise. Who wants to argue with a zealot?

Meanwhile, back in the real world:

> **[Breaking News, World News and Video from Al Jazeera](https://www.aljazeera.com/)**
>
> News, analysis from the Middle East & worldwide, multimedia & interactives, opinions, documentaries, podcasts, long reads and broadcast schedule.

I would quote shit, but let’s face it. The rational man already understands the issues, knows what is up.

The nuclear believer, well, it won’t matter a bit. Nothing will change their mind. Especially not facts or what is actually happening in Japan.

Pity.
