I thought the article quotes from opponents were rather poor, too.

    “They want us to come and be educated. It’s a bit scary to me that somebody would want me to come to a meeting to be educated.”

This sounds like a line from an Onion article. Maybe there weren't any better quotes?

I'm team science on this, too. If there are flaws in the design, the opponents should highlight them. Instead it sounds like a classic "not in my backyard" argument. I have a hard time giving any credence to an argument based only in fear.
