Calling all Lurkers: Share your Dreams of Effortposting

It’s been pointed out recently that the topics discussed in the Culture War thread have gotten a bit repetitive. While I do think the Motte has a good spread on intellectual discussion, I’m always pushing for a wider range (dare I say diversity?) of viewpoints and topics in the CW thread.

I was a lurker for years, and I know that the barrier between having a thought and writing a top level comment in the CW thread can loom large indeed. Luckily I’m fresh out of inspiration, and would love to hear thoughts from folks about effortposts they want to write but haven’t gotten around to.

This of course applies to regulars who post frequently as well - share any and all topics you wish were discussed in the CW thread!

Nuclear power and how/why it become so polemicized.

I would like to read this, as I live in Japan where nuclear power has become (much more of) an issue (i.e. political talking point) ever since 2011. Too many people here seem perfectly happy confounding nuclear energy with nuclear weapons, and seem to me to have only the most muddled view of what happened in March 2011.
