At Last, I Believe Environmentalists Are Sincere

I'm not saying they're honest. I just saying that they believe their own propoganda. My evidence is that environmentalists are showing a grudging tolerance of our cleanest and most environmentally friendly source of electrical energy, nuclear power.

"[N]uclear power is set to rise again. Against all odds, more and more public figures are calling for its revival. There are several reasons, among them the rising price of oil and natural gas; the realization that windmills and solar are unable to provide anything more than piddle-power; and the reluctance of policymakers to keep sending billions to Saudi Arabia. But most importantly, we have seen a replay of the environmental concern that launched nuclear power in 1954. Anything other than nuclear energy causes too much pollution."

Of course, hydroelectric generates pollution free electricity too, but environmentalists have decided that they hate dams even more than reactors.
