Okay so I was scrolling through the PSL’s info page, and it is stated that they are to denuclearize the power grid. Why is this? I was under the impression that Nuclear Energy is the much more sustainable and frankly realistic source of power–even without Molten Salt Reactors and Thorium based ones.

 Im finding it most orgs tend to stay away from Nuclear energy due to fear mongering from fossil fuel industries; Thus its stain in the imperial core, reaching from liberals to western "leftists". But I am surprised the PSL, a radical organization, is anti-nuclear.

   FYI this isn't a deal breaker or anything--they seem to be taking the lead for vanguard party--just was curious of the stance on nuclear energy.

    those people can blame the Chernobyl accident to communist hubris but But the Fukushima nuclear accident was definitely caused by capitalist greed

      Apparently if they had built the water cooling system on the other side of the plant, it wouldn’t have been hit so hard and would have kept the plant safe. But it was cheaper to build nearer to the ocean.

        That’s likely the case. There are a few reactor facilities built on Japan’s east coast and only Fukushima had issues. Another coastal NPP (don’t remember the name right now) even closer to that earthquake’s epicenter was so well constructed that it was the evacuation center for the local residents when the tsunami hit.
