Uh... I would say that page is the resume of an anti-nuclear ideologue, of someone who has built his career on being against nukes and nuclear energy.



You made this claim before, I asked you to elaborate. To me it seems that the article describes a career doing research and applying it to public policy.

I have no idea what you are talking about. Are you mistaking me for someone else?

That's not incompatible with what I wrote earlier...


I would describe that as a career based on being realistic, not one based on having drunk the nuclear koolaid.


That's the thing with ideologies, it colors a person's views to the point where they don't realize they are trapped in it.


Talking about yourself or him?


Yes, you are accurately describing the pro-nuclear side there. The nuclear skeptics, we can point to objective market evidence. The pro-nukes have to invent conspiracy theories to stave off cognitive dissonance.
