...in which "I'm not an anti-nuke" anti-nukes knew about what they were talking, but it's rather hopeless to think that they might.

They have particular trouble with the words, "renewable" and "sustainable," but it's not really their fault, since these words have been drilled into the public imagination without a shred of critical thinking being applied to it..

For the record, the entire world lived pretty much on biomass for tens of thousands of years. There is not one "I'm not an anti-nuke" anti-nuke in my experience who has ever considered why that is no longer so.
