You stated "Human fears and our fallibility are factors that can't be dismissed and need to be part of the equation."

I agree that they should not be dismissed, but proper education and not simply fear mongering and (improperly) using technical terms that you don't understand should NOT be part of the equation.

The press is generally uneducated and lazy and scary headlines get higher ratings. So why should they bother to educate the public about news events when they can just screenshot a bunch of Twitter accounts and talk about how "the internet is blowing up".

To bring this back to the original point which started this diversion, the election may have serious implications on NioCorp. One side wants to promote America First, the other is happy to outsource to foreign nations because of the fear of what mining could do to our environment (note, they don't care so much about how "green" the environment is of those nations).

Thus, education about how things can be done (in this case environmentally responsible mining) is important because it will be very easy to get into a junk science debate because people don't understand the terms they are using ... just like what I was trying to relay with nuclear concerns.
