8. Thank you for claiming that you know better than I do what I was thinking 22 years ago.

I recall it very differently. I was merely decrying the triumph of antinuke ignorance, which was clearly winning, at a huge loss to all humanity.

I have never underestimated the power of ignorance.

I really, really, really, really don't need to be told about Kairos or any other new nuclear design; I have a son on the front lines of nuclear design and engineering, combatting ignorance.

Neither he nor I live by Googling to nonsensical misapprehension of nuclear technology. We rely on the primary scientific literature.

Oh wow. More soothsaying. The unit of energy, as people should learn in high school, is the Joule, not the Watt. NNadir Nov 2024 #26
