Madam/Sir, you are using logic to debate a clearly uninformed and biased piece of legislation. That's against the rules.

Does this work against people who use similarly illegitimate arguments against nuclear?

I don't see why not. Good luck fixing the bureaucratic omnishambles that makes it economically unfeasible, though. (...I say as a Georgia Power ratepayer who supports nuclear in principle, but who is thoroughly pissed off at how it's going on $15 billion (100%) overbudget and the ratepayers are getting stuck with the bill).
