- xcambar 5y agoI'm really curious in reading more about this. If you have some resources, don't hesitate to share.
- throwawaylinux 5y agoAbout fossil fuel companies donating money to anti-nuclear "environmental" movements? https://environmentalprogress.org/the-war-on-nuclear https://environmentalprogress.org/the-war-on-nuclear Hopefully you don't believe it would be a step too far for the fossil fuel industry that has been responsible for wars and regime change and cartel behavior going back over a century to subvert or create fake environmental movements to keep their competition down. It would be more outlandish to believe the fossil fuel industry isn't a major driving force behind the anti-scientific anti-environmental anti-nuclear movement. Follow the money.
