What I really like are the arguments about solar and wind that use much the same attitude as the arguments about nuclear whether it's for or against. Again, I warn you about the real dangers we all face. Meats and meat byproducts (from wild caught fish to grass feed beef), dairy stuff and all sugars. These seemingly innocent lifestyle choices
almost universally have greater impact on your life expectancy than all the nuclear plants in the world.
Why is it that only the blind can clearly see? Yes, the Tesla is a large car. No, it's not in my price point. I can park my 64 Morris Cooper S in just about any garage. (That's the old hidden brag.)
