I hate to say it, but regardless of one's stance, on his back should be "Public perception of Fukushima, Chernobyl, and 3-mile Island."
I say regardless of one's stance, because even if the public's perceptions are off...when we remember those incidents but not how much time was in between them or the relative infrequency of disasters, they can have outsized effects on public attitude.
The sheer quantity of stupid people that exist is staggering.
And really depressing.
Because I want to be like 'who gives a shit what those frothing retards perceive as scary' but... There are just so many.
And they are so easy to steer with fear.
Maybe that's the trick?
Try something like "Coal causes abortions and makes white baby Jesus cry!" with a dash of 'Muslim folks can't use Nuclear power!'
Yeah that really convinces me. I'm stupid so ill switch to your point of view
