...to the fossil fuel industry, now in the process of marketing itself as "hydrogen."

As for the focus on alledged nuclear disasters, seven million people die each year from air pollution which is fossil fuel waste, including the effluents of making hydrogen to greenwash coal. That works out to roughly 19,000 people per day.

I always invite antinukes, most of whom, indeed nearly all of whom, have no problem with fossil fuels to show, using the primary scientific literature, to show that over the entire 70 year history of commercial nuclear power, radiation exposures as a result of nuclear power operations have killed as many people as will die today from fossil fuels.

The reason the planet is in flames is selective attention, much of it driven by fossil fuel interests, including but hardly limited to those working to rebrand fossil fuels as "hydrogen."

The repetitive mantras of antinukes do not change and haven't for decades. What is changing is the rate at which the climate collapse is taking place, which accelerating. I lay responsibility for this outcome squarely at the feet of antinukes.

Historically the United States built more than 100 commercial nuclear power plants in about 25 years while providing some of the lowest cost and most reliable electricity in the world. The reason we cannot do so now is the deliberate destruction of nuclear manufacturing infrastructure, encouraged by fossil fuel interests, by appeals to fear and ignorance, in short, vandalism.
