The perpetrators of the West’s self-inflicted energy crisis are readily identified by their zealous promotion of subsidised wind and solar. Hiding in plain view, these characters become even more conspicuous when they start ranting about the (purportedly staggering) costs and (supposedly deadly) safety risks of nuclear power generation.

“We do not believe any group of men adequate enough or wise enough to operate without scrutiny or without criticism. We know that the only way to avoid error is to detect it, that the only way to detect it is to be free to inquire. We know that in secrecy error undetected will flourish and subvert”. - J Robert Oppenheimer.
