Please don't lump us all together like that; this enviro-leftie is very pro-nuclear. Following political ideology blindly has never been limited to any particular viewpoint.
- llimllib 18y agojust because an exception exists doesn't mean that it was an unreasonable statement.
- lukifer 18y agoA single exception, no. But environmentalism takes a lot of forms: Greenpeace hippies, Sierra Club hunters and naturalists, and humanists interested in long-term sustainability (which is where I fall). Though there's still a strong residual echo of the (understandable) knee-jerk reaction to nuclear from the 70s, there are now many environmentalists who support nuclear as a lesser evil compared to coal. Apologies for having an easily-struck nerve, re: implied "All X are Y" statements. :)
