Whether the topic is: - Climate change - GMOs - Nuclear power - Vaccines - Homeopathy - Astronomy - Evolution - or Covid-19... ...People who disagree most with the scientific consensus know less about the topic, but they think they know more. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Replying to @andrewlissiman.bsky.social
Please inform yourself on nuclear fuel cycles and recycling of spent nuclear fuel. Nuclear "waste" can be obliterated for more clean electricity and disappear from the universe forever. You just sound cringe and uneducated. Anti-nukes tend not to know much about nuclear power.

Hey @jessedjenkins.com, I do actually care about you and your work. You are a heavily credentialed expert. I'm super happy you are pro-nuke publicly. I just think certain facts about nuclear should stand out to you to make it the keystone of the energy transition. That's all.

Finally getting around to reading a paper from the New England grid operator, packed with goodies. 1) The marginal contribution of new wind & solar capacity falls off a cliff as you add more 2) Cost of carbon abatement skyrockets 3) Nuclear plants significantly reduce system cost is.gd/p8kilf
