I can see where you're coming from here (re nuclear), but then when you are faced with people who are so dead against something you are in favour of, one is hardly going to come out with limitations to it to reinforce their position, as one rarely even gets the opportunity, and nearly all the objections that people put up against nuclear are flawed IMHO. I've stated many times in this thread alone that I'm in favour of this technology, but its the limits of its application that I wanted to discuss. To just celebrate it is a bit blind to me.

Do you see how the two issues are different? (No pun intended)

My interest lies with renewable energy and I happen to believe its benefits are overall positive.
While you may be right overall in that statement, we must not lose sight of the fact that every techology has its limits. To do so would be to do us all a disservice. To object to discussing its limitations doesn't sit well with me.
