From the Sierra Club statement on Nuclear power:
> The Sierra Club opposes the licensing, construction and operation of new nuclear reactors utilizing the fission process, pending:
> The dangers posed by the probable releases of tritium used by fusion plants, the problems with decommissioning these plants, and their high costs lead the Sierra Club to believe that the development of fusion reactors to generate electricity should not be pursued at this time.
The Sierra Club has always had an anti-human feel to it, starting with John Muir and his despicable racism toward the indigenous people.
- prescriptivist 4y agoMuir was a racist yes, but also he just really didn't like anyone. He was generally just a mercurial and unlikeable person. I read a biography of him, A Passion For Nature, a few years ago. I knew nothing about Muir going into the book and by the end I was ready for him to croak so I could finish the book and never think about him again.

They mention that they oppose: coal power, nuclear power, hydroelectric power, and certain applications of solar power. Ok sierra club, please explain how we are going to generate power? I see this from activists alot. They recommend some bananas policy prescription, and when the experts in that field say "that's not possible" the reply is always: "well you're the expert, just figure it out".
