De-regulating nuclear power is dumb, dangerous, and expensive

[Lord of Planar]

Joey just presented relevant, factual, data for you. If you disagree with his/her data then you can do what Joey did and present your own data! Where are the facts to support your opinion?

The facts are not complete for all fields making the comparison a lie. I only pointed that out. I am not taking the time to show the facts. I have better things to do with my time than waste it looking for data that I do mot care about.

I pointed out that he needs to look at certan things. I dont care if he does or not.

Specifically because it’s highly regulated and intensely looked after.
It’s not a business that tolerates mistakes and cutting corners well.

Highly regulated? Not really. Radiological embrittlement, due to metallurgical design flaws in the Unit 1 reactor vessel at Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant in California, risks millions of people. PG&E was allowed a deferment to avoid further embrittlement testing. Very lax regulations.

Mistakes? Three million pounds of highly radioactive waste, needing 250,000 years of safe-keeping, is stored in dry casks designed to last only 100 years. Huge mistake.

Good thing too.

Right, and that’s [i[with[/i] this level of regulation. Wait until it’s lesser than today.

I have a good track record of being correct

What a load of crap!!

Lord is well known for getting his facts wrong.

and citing material when I feel I need to.

Unfortunately, for most of the people Lord debates, he rarely ever feels the need to back himself up. Just like he is doing here.
