The anti-nuclear self-proclaimed environmentalists simply do not seem to understand the concept of "Base Load." They believe, or pretend to believe, that industrial civilization can be powered by "sunny days when the wind is blowing" energy, and doesn't need 24x7 365 days a year energy.

I call this arithmetic denialism.

If you don't want to be an arithmetic denier, show me the energy source that can provide 24x7 energy all 356 days a year in sufficient quantity to power industrial/technological civilization. I see a startling lack of any energy source that passes muster with the anti-nuke sort of "environmentalist."

Call that what you like...
