Masturabating Cocaine

The numbers do not tell lies, but even the truth

know to craft a false credibility give the numbers: rattle off some numbers in support of his thesis is the solution better. Hardly your opponent has the readiness to contest the merits, and if the public does not have the tools to understand who is right. So at worst you break even.
Since I deal with nuclear I apply this mechanism in a systematic and sophisticated. We use the same data from official sources and "third" to prove a point and its opposite, without even needing to "fix" in their favor. The real trick is to show the number, neutral and unassailable, and an attack "and then ..." entirely arbitrary, a possible consequence passes for the only possible consequence.

The opportunity to remove a bit 'mechanism that gave it to me Newclear in this post on nuclear power plants under construction. Small disclaimer: not an attack on their nuclear or pro, in general, this field is none without sin. The same trick could be done even on issues so dear to environmentalists, such as when "show" that a plant is too expensive. We say that a useful exercise to create some defense on a bitter referendum campaign. So

IAEA says that the last census in January are being built 66 nuclear power plants worldwide. The exact number and incontestable by the author of the post concludes: "Are you sure that nobody builds any more?" refuting the thesis that anti-nuclear is "old", which is subsidized survives but is now out of business. And of course they too have the numbers in support, also targati IAEA. In this report of September there were 60 reactors under construction, but above all it is noted that 11 of these are built in the 90s and only three have any hope of ever being completed. Do not miss the governments announcing (the Philippines, Bulgaria) and never complete the projects.
Over the past twenty years only a handful of reactors to produce electricity have come: to be precise 12 in 5 years, the lowest average of 45 years. If this is not a decline ... The atom has lost more than a spin while global consumption grew: covering 7% of primary energy demand in horse of 90 years and now has dropped to 5.7%. The game will be easy
nuclearists in reply: "The slowdown is a legacy of the past over the years since the Renaissance: 22 of those 66 yards were opened in the last two years and five reactors came online only in 2010 are best result of the decade. "
If you are not yet convinced that with the same numbers you can say everything and its opposite, I step forward. What lessons should be drawn from these Italy 66 yards? Newclear suggests that the choice of the Italian government is part of global consolidation trend. But all the 22 new sites are concentrated in 2008-09 only three countries: China, Russia and South Korea The other major manufacturer is India. The quartet of new focuses 49 yards. In the rest of the company only Japan and France's consumption similar to ours.
's all clear, build 66 power plants in the world and then ...
Yeah, so what?
