Fair enough, but you called him a loon.
The thing is that nuclear power is very clean compared with everything else ... except solar and wind.
Now ... long term there would be an argument against nuclear power, but short term ... as in, we need to change our ways - yesterday ... there is nothing that could "save the planet" like nuclear. But as Fukushima showed everyone, greedy stupid people are what the problem is with nuclear.
The argument ought to be, can the world somehow rise above the greed and stupidity of human beings and utilize nuclear power safely? NOT, whether someone of a certain opinion is a loon.
Did you know that nuclear materials have to be stored for thousands of years whether or not nuclear power is used. There are natural geological strata that act like nuclear power plants (look it up), and at least some of the heat from inside the planet is generated from nuclear fission.
Like computers, programming, biology, neuroscience, etc ... the people of the planet need to come to terms with and understand nuclear power. Is that possible?
