Apparently this guy had some kind of brain injury, so I’m not going to criticize him for drooling, being crosseyed or the slurred speech. I am more than comfortable criticizing him for being a complete and utter idiot, however. And also, for using a florescent tube as the image of a “fuel rod”
I’ll leave it at that.
This is what we’re up against folks. Keep up the fight.

I don’t grant reprieves for idiots even if they have other conditions. The guy looks as much of a bumbling fool as he is based on his remarks. Too bad idiots aren’t so iconically bumbling in real life (most of the time).
It would be easy if life were more like a cartoon where stupid people actually look stupid.

Keep them coming – every time you show one of these imbeciles, you underline what the movement is made up of; drooling, gibbering, idiots.

“We are all getting older, and medicine should be there to help this natural process”
“A lit cigerette does nuclear fusion! Suck radioactrive steam into your lungs, if you wish to die!”
“a flame of hydrogen deos nuclear fusion. So heat with no CO2!”

This guy can’t be serious. Honestly, he can’t be. Nobody could be that crazy and inept and still be able to hook up a camera.

Sometimes anti-nuclear or conspiracy theory youtube videos can be very hard to tell the jokes from what people actually believe. As much as jokes rip on it you can turn around and see an equally ridiculous claim which is totally believed by the author. (the wind power conspiracy video for example I wasn’t sure at first if it was a joke or not, but after reading the description and the other videos the author had I realized it was a spoof)
This guy appears to be 100% serious if you look at the comments, his other videos, the descriptions and so on. Really, this would appear to be legit.
I personally love the “fuel rod” graphic which shows a florescent lightbulb as the “fuel rod”
In another video he makes some kind of claim (which I can’t quite understand) about nuclear fusion being easily possible at the pressures in the deep ocean and therefore fusion is constantly avaliable there and there is a conspiracy to keep it hush hush. Then some kind of claim about a nuclear fusion steam engine. I can’t make heads or tails of it.

No question this poor guy is certifiable, one wonders how much of his welfare check gets sent to support the antinuclear groups that constantly beg for money.
The broader issue is that there are any number of rational folk that believe much the same way he does only because they have not been told the truth – reaching them must become a priority of the pronuclear side, and in this matter not enough has been done. Why isn’t there television spots extolling the virtues of nuclear power? As series of ads dealing with the common lies would go a long way to raising the publics’ awareness, yet the few I have seen are best described as insipid, and contain little in the way of real information.
Why hasn’t the industry become involved with high-visibility sponsorship projects in sports or the arts? Tobacco wasn’t doing it as a public service. Beer, airlines and communication companies don’t do it to make them feel good. These things work to raise public awareness of your product.
If the industry doesn’t get itself out in the open, it just looks like its got something to hide.

I’m really not sure if this is a joke. If he wasn’t cross eyed, slurring and drooling I would probably think it was more real. But this guy was so out there, it got to be a joke… Right?!?! Right?!?!
Damn! Maybe not. I really am not sure. Florescent tubes for fuel rods — spoof?
I guess he could’ve spent his whole life smoking crack. Yeah, that would probably do it.

In another video he says the voice (and perhaps the crosseyes) is because of a car accident. He probably had a portion of his brain damaged and that would be the coordination and speech problems.
It doesn’t matter to me though, because I have sympathy for anyone with a stroke or head trauma for ending up in such a state, but I don’t have sympathy for just being an idiot and putting out bull**** like this. The guy has enough going on to be able to do some basic video editing, which means he ought to know better.
Maybe he was an idiot before the car accident. I think that’s very likely actually. Most idiots are born and raised idiots. The fact that he looks like a joke does help make the point though.
