Dear Mr.\/Ms. Anti-Nuclear Activist… for decades You have been telling me “It’s easy to get off nuclear, if we just want to!”. Well, alot more powerful people than You have made similar promises…<\/p>\n

Where do we stand today after all these promises? Pretty much exactly<\/strong> where we were 5-10-20-40 years ago.<\/p>\n

So – dear Mr.\/Ms. Anti-Nuclear Activist – You promise me gold and green forests… but You don’t deliver. Maybe this wasn’t Your fault. Maybe You’d like to blame Big Oil or lazy politicians or a public that just won’t see things the way You do. It’s allright… You can try to shift the blame any place You want. But it doesn’t matter whose fault it is, becasue assigning blame does not alleviate the problem.<\/p>\n

So when You – dear Mr.\/Ms. Anti-Nuclear Activist – today, yet again, try to tell me it’s allright to renounce nuclear power, it means I cannot trust You, because things might no go they way You promise me they will.<\/p>\n

What will You – dear Mr.\/Ms. Anti-Nuclear Activist – need to\u00a0do to gain my trust again?<\/p>\n

Well it’s easy: get the replacements up and running<\/strong>. Get full replacements for fossil fuels and nuclear power up and running, hooked to the grids and pumping GigaWatthours of energy into them, and I’ll trust You again.<\/p>\n

So… dear Mr.\/Ms. Anti-Nuclear Activist…. get to work. We’re eagerly waiting for You.<\/p>\n

Oh… and one last thing: while we wait for you to get this work done, You do not get to say\u00a0we cannot make any new nuclear power if\u00a0we want to<\/strong>,\u00a0at least on the “We’re not gonna need it in a while”-argument alone.\u00a0\u00a0Just saying this FYI…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
