It's funny, because a lot of "greens" are asking for less carbon-* or carbon neutral stuff, but are immediately against anything nuclear, even though it's the only option we have, to generate enough power, even on windless nights.
There are even comics made about this: https://i.redd.it/x1saxijbtj7a1.png https://i.redd.it/x1saxijbtj7a1.png
- sunbum 4y agoBecause the "greens" of the cold war are the same people today. Totally yes that must entirely be it!
- kzrdude 4y agoI think greens are not alone in this - our whole culture has been part of demonizing nuclear power. Non-activist people accepted avoiding nuclear as a good compromise since it was a touchy subject. The luxury of considering no externalities (i.e allowing fossil fuel emissions) enabled this.
