在很多国家对能源的众多争论中,没有哪种争论像核动力争论那样激烈。支持者确信,核动力将在未来全球能源布局中拥有重要和长久的地位,而批评者同样确信,核动力的时日屈指可数,它的发展将只是为了给核武器计划提供政治上的遮羞布。双方都认为对方太偏见或是愚蠢,它们之间鲜有建设性的辩论。

Of the many controversies over energy in many countries, no debate is as intense as the nuclear argument. Proponents are convinced that nuclear power will have an important and long-term role in the future global energy landscape, while critics are equally convinced that the days of nuclear power are numbered and its development will be just to provide a political cover-up for the nuclear weapons program. Both sides think the other side is too prejudiced or stupid, there is little constructive debate between them.
