Hack to solve this: classify nuclear as renewable?
- SllX 5y agoOr just repeal a bad law instead of trying to fill the law books with hacks.
- abecedarius 5y agoIt's effectively renewable because (1) there's essentially no pollution and (2) with no prospect of new plants, mining of fuel is not going to add up to much impact. I agree with your viewpoint in general.
- SllX 5y agoNah I don’t think you can take linguistic shortcuts on this. As much as I’m a proponent of nuclear power, I’m a bigger proponent of repealing bad laws rather than accommodating them with poorly thought out extensions and calling nuclear something it’s not doesn’t sit well with me when it stands fine on its own merits. I think we’re agreeing directionally at least.
- abecedarius 5y agoYeah, that's fair. Admittedly I posted that comment because it amused me.
- abecedarius 5y agoThis is happening in Europe! "Finland has joined France, Poland, Hungary, the Czech Republic in lobbying the European Union to categorize nuclear power as sustainable." https://twitter.com/ShellenbergerMD/status/1447963506737704966 https://twitter.com/ShellenbergerMD/status/14479635067377049...
