The top 5 reasons intelligent liberals don't like nuclear energy

Summary:
1. Ignorance.
2.  Bad psychological connections.
3.  Waste.
4.  Damn them Republicans.

"It does not help that climate change deniers such as Republican Senator James Inhofe are also pro-nuclear power. The only way to stop oneself from making such flawed political connections is to be reminded that this is not a political issue. Objections to and support for nuclear power should go beyond political partisanship. The merit of nuclear power lies in the science and thus bows to no political or partisan mongering, and especially not to dedicated deniers like Inhofe. It’s important for liberals to separate the scientific pros and cons of nuclear energy from the political credentials of those who support or oppose it."

However, the weirdest thing is that climate change is one of the best reasons FOR nuclear power.  If the skeptics would give up their quixotic and increasingly creationistic campaign against the realities of science on climate, then we would have more impetus for major expansion of nuclear power.
