Summary

This quote controversially suggests that the idea of stopping nuclear power by 2020 is irrational. It implies that in the event of a nuclear war and the devastation of human life, the Earth would be relieved. This viewpoint implies a negative perception of humanity and an emphasis on the potential destructive impacts of nuclear weapons. It also reflects a belief that the Earth might be better off without humans, which some may find a stark and cynical perspective.
