Looks good.

You have to wonder why the mainstream press aren’t doing this. Or at least the mainstream pop-sci press.

I know all this. It’s nice to see it in print. I’m in total agreement with this. 1,2,3,5 are false. 6 is incomplete and 4 is misleading.

Except perhaps with number 4. It may be misleading as claimed, but he’s ignored thorium from sand mining.
