CHERNOBYL’S LESSON

“The lesson of Chernobyl is that the most dangerous substance in the world is human stupidity.

If everyone who whined about nuclear technology actually understood it, the world’s average IQ would increase by 50 points.

When idiots drink and drive and kill thousands, we don’t ban cars. But when idiots run emergency shutdown tests with an untrained night crew without telling the designer of the reactor or nuclear authority scientists, then deliberately drive the reactor into the nuclear equivalent of "balanced on tiptoes on a stool perched on a stepladder on a table… made of plutonium,” suddenly all nuclear power is evil.“
