Oh and Europe and Australia are not energy conserving and ecologically aware utopias. How naive.

Watched an hour. Wasn't too impressed. Bit of a haphazard argument I thought, she references Chernobyl obviously, but doesn't counter this with people dying in coal mines for example(a comparable effect). She failed to address the evolution of nuclear energy, that is to say, the advancement and possibility of attaining nuclear fusion in the near future. She talked about geothermal, but I am under the impression that it is in fact a type of nuclear energy since it deals with nuclear reactions rather than chemical reactions. There are also graduated(primary, secondary and tertiary) safety measures in nuclear plants, which are automated; the lessening of human activity leads to the lessening of the threat of human error. Oh she also misquoted the Bible, it does not say, "Thou Shall Not Kill" - that's a mistranslation. It says, "Thou Shalt Not Do Murder" - which in the context means that you should not kill your 'fellow Jew' intentionally.

This woman is a crackpot... She obviously doesn't understand nuclear power generation.
