What The?

So being who I am, I have to share this  to make sure it's not just me. I am presently undertaking SCI 207 Environmental Studies. Essentially its one big happy science class with a hippy, tree hugging twist. I cannot really complain about that, as the class is actually pretty interesting and a great refresher on life sciences basics. Plus cool things like the Cambrian explosion and mass extinctions and lions and tigers and bears oh my! 

Anyways, This week, one of the discussion questions was in regards to nuclear power. Here is a post written by a fellow student from the discussion boards . (Direct Cut and Paste, No Alterations):

If you had to argue the benefits of nuclear energy, they would be nuclear  power plants are more safer during the last years. Better calculations risks of technical systems. The more complex a system is, the higher the likelihood of missing out certain risks. The problem is perception the waste problem has a solution the current policy is to bury-long-lived wastes in a respository that is under construction, with current technology they can be consumed. There are various risks involved when using nuclear energy as a source of power. We argue that the benefits greatly outweighing more. If this would occur there would be no way of preventing the reactor from overheating. The use of nuclear reactors to generate electricity continues to increase all over the world.


Seriously?!? Whiskey Tango Foxtrot?!? Let's break that paragraph down.

If you had to argue the benefits of nuclear energy, they would be nuclear  power plants are more safer during the last years. Serious Grammar Nazi Alert! So your saying that reactor walls and containment systems become stronger with age?

Better calculations risks of technical systems. That's right, do not push the shiny red button, might be risks of technical systems

The more complex a system is, the higher the likelihood of missing out certain risks. Well shit Joe Bob, make it more complex, that way we miss out certain risks.

The problem is perception the waste problem has a solution the current policy is to bury-long-lived wastes in a respository that is under construction, with current technology they can be consumed. Ok, at least here there is something resembling an idea or two, they are just jumbled, intertwined, and hopelessly confused.

There are various risks involved when using nuclear energy as a source of power. At Last! A complete rational thought!

We argue that the benefits greatly outweighing more. Ummm there is more than one of you trying to type? Is that why it is difficult to make this a useful informative sentence such as, "I would argue that the benefits of nuclear energy greatly outweigh the negatives associated with its use."

If this would occur there would be no way of preventing the reactor from overheating. By Olympus!! Sure would helpful to know what exactly is causing our reactor to meltdown.

The use of nuclear reactors to generate electricity continues to increase all over the world. All right! The second cohesive thought present in this paragraph.

 How exactly am I supposed to respond to this fellow student in an appropriate manner? Sure I can pick it apart and make fun of it, maybe even divine some of the intent behind it, but seriously comment on it? Highly Doubtful.

Any Thoughts?
