The cons given are completely different- how would data help? The nuclear cons are much worse.

Every decision carries infinite opportunity cost.

Freebeard tried floating opportunity costs. In context, what does that really mean?

We’ll never get to eat our cake and have it too.

How is that saying relevant?

One could apply it to the situation?

Same as any other context. Do you find it hard to empathize with other people?

If nuclear power (electricity generation) had its major cons eliminated, that'd be great. Radioactive waste, finite fuel source, ... safety, and ... safety are the big ones that come to mind.

I could research this and document it, but it's late. Just research and you will find that newer (4th and 5th gen) reactors can eat high-level waste, operate more efficiently at higher temps, and Thorium is abundant. IIRC the thorium in coal could produce more power than burning it.

If you're asking this directly: I'd say I empathize more than most others do, and not just with people.

How do you know that?

Is there a good reason for this line of questioning?

How does it feel?

Well, it feels like the entire Ecomodder forum has very little participation.

My back and neck feel really good since I've been arching backwards on this big "air pillow" thing. It's easier to get done than yoga is, which also feels good, but this is better in some ways. I can literally feel my hips, back, and neck relaxing.

My energy and mood feel better since I figured out my macronutrient balance was off (too much carbohydrate) and made changes.

And hopefully my ears will stop itching so much since I just used one of those little kits to clean and irrigate. LOL.

It feels pretty good to feel pretty good.

How about you?

Well, you asked a broad/vague question ...
