Said word doesn't just stand for certain types of weaponry/warfare. How about its use in other (non-military/defence) contexts, e.g, nuclear family?
On nuclear power, just one word - Chernobyl. If something does go wrong, boy does it go wrong. I'm aware that its a lot safer now than in 1986, but still.
How about good old fashioned coal? Never mind Scandinavia and its acid lakes, as long as we're ok. Lots of jobs for the unemployed too down those pits. Its a win win
