There are obviously one form of energy that is vastly superior to all others. It was invented by some of the finest minds of the 20th century, nuclear energy, only to be demonized in favor of a series of unhelpful Rube Goldberg schemes that did not work, are not working and will not work via the application of fear, ignorance, and selective attention.

I note, and have noted repeatedly in my long tenure here, extending over more than 20 years, the limitation of using nuclear energy only for the purpose of making electricity is ill advised, since it can do much more because of the high temperatures which nuclear fuels exhibit in operation.
