New Statesman writer Mark Lynas, who published a 'coming out' piece on his new views on nuclear power last year, said the anti-nuclear campaigns of the past "will come to be seen as an enormous mistake for which the Earth's climate is now paying the price." He cited the case of Austria where coal-fired capacity was brought online after the Zwentendorf nuclear power plant was stopped from ever operating, despite being fully constructed.

Could it be?
"Coming out?"
Like a matter of shame?
It is my long term considered opinion that all anti-nukes are, well, dumbells, but actually giving a shit about science is decidedly not something of which to be ashamed, but it is also true that there is no such thing as an anti-nuke who
knows any science.
The anti-nuke movement has represented the greatest environmental disaster of the 20th century.
