That's why humanities are important as well as science: science tells us it is possible for both fracking and nuclear power to be safe; history, economics, etc. tell us that's not going to happen in the US where profit is more important than public safety. It's not surprising that people don't believe science saying fracking can be safe when the reality on the ground is that fracking isn't safe.
Actually, that's not "humanities", that's REAL Science, or as we call it: REALITY. Accepting "scientific" statements as fact can be correct. However, "But, what happens if we do do that thing?" Is INCREDIBLY more important today than ever before.
Due to a small but consistent influx of spam, comments will now be checked before publishing. Only egregious spam/illegal/racist crap will be disapproved, everything else will be published.
