- mhb 3y agoNuclear power is dirty, dangerous and expensive. Say no to new nukes. Nuclear energy has no place in a safe, clean, sustainable future. Nuclear energy is both expensive and dangerous, and just because nuclear pollution is invisible doesn’t mean it’s clean. Renewable energy is better for the environment, the economy, and doesn’t come with the risk of a nuclear meltdown. https://www.greenpeace.org/usa/fighting-climate-chaos/issues/nuclear/ https://www.greenpeace.org/usa/fighting-climate-chaos/issues...
