scott_sanfordARGH!
I really should be able to just skip past when I run into a comment by someone with an agenda, I really should. I know better. I know that many decisions aren't made by checking on numbers but by appealing to emotions.
It does not make me feel better, in part because many people who honestly mean well are being manipulated by a (hopefully) small minority of the willfully ignorant or politically motivated and that kind of thing bugs me. More so because this is a question where people are dying because of that manipulation.
A coal plant is less frightening; it does not bear Scary Atomic Symbols and therefore must not have radiation. That this is not necessarily true does not change the fundamental point that the building does not display Scary Symbols.
You may now feel safer.
