It merely is a recitation of anti-nuke misrepresentations, without any attribution. For facts about nuclear energy, please look at "The Case for Nuclear Energy". Then you can have a real debate. I can respect your support of renewable energy. In truth, it will take all the renewable energy we can manage, all the nuclear plants we can build, and more conservation than anyone wants to avoid the worst consequences of climate change. To spread misinformation about nuclear energy because you see it as a competitor against your favorite energy sources is misguided. You describe this as a debate, but it isn’t a debate at all.

You have to get over those horrible cold war movies. Radiation is not some mystical dark magic that kills anyone it comes in contact with, it is a dose related phenomenon. Even with Chernobyl, for instance, only a few dozen deaths were proven from the contamination, despite years and years of environmentalists trying to add every cancer death they possibly could to the total. The nuclear threat, like the terrorist threat, is overblown by people that demand your obedience. All you need to free yourself is to apply evidenced based thinking to issues that you are told never to do so with. One of those things is the dangers of radioactive contamination.
