When I was a young teenager, and
I was as yet uncommitted in the
grand nuclear power debate            (A rather one-sided debate, really,
one voice I thought interesting       where the "pro" side was always
was Paul MacIssac, who was doing      dismissed without a hearing),
a talk radio show on WBAI.
                                          WBAI
Paul MacIssac argued that even
if you could get a major power         Paul MacIssac had a perfectly
source like fusion energy              brilliant microphone style: every
working safely, it'd still be a        thing he said was enunciated as
bad idea, because human beings         though it were a fascinating secret
were unable to use that kind of        that he was revealing to you, his
power wisely and responsibly.          close circle of friends.

  Power corrupts and nuclear                The anti-nuclear activists have
  power corrupts absolutely                 always been lacking in some
                                            respects, but no one beats them
  The anti-promethian position.             on earnest, sincere conviction.
