Shutting down nuclear power is also dystopian.
- Miraste 4y agoAnyone who calls themself a climate change activist and supports shutting down nuclear plants is - well, I prefer not to use invective on HN, so let's say extremely misguided.
- addingadimensio 4y agoSo the green party in basically every country?
- jiggawatts 4y agoYes. We had a Greens candidate here running for election, and his main campaign promise was to shut down a 10+ billion dollar motorway underpass that was 99% completed at the time of the election. His approach for "saving the environment" is to convert efficient motorway travel into inefficient stop-start traffic. And to throw away tens of billions of dollars of already spent resources.
- Tostino 4y agoAs much as I'd like to support actual competent Green candidates, this example is what I've seen my entire life in the US.
- addingadimensio 4y agoYou know what would actually take some political willpower? Banning plastic packaging and waterproofing. My bet is that just like before i was born, after I’m gone these things will only increase.
