How is shutting down an already built nuclear power plant in favor of natural gas a big win for the environment?
- lupusreal 1y agoHe said loss for the environment. It's a win for the "environmental movement" which has a hate boner for nuclear. For every nuclear power plant they got delayed or canceled in the 20th century, many megatons of carbon dioxide were added to the atmosphere. These days it's arguably different, insofar as solar is viable, but evidently it's not viable enough for Taiwan to not expand their use of natural gas. Still, it's better than in the 20th century when a nuclear power plant obstructed by activists almost always meant coal was burned instead.
