The anti-nuclear movement must be a big oil operation.

    Anti-nuclear is 100% a big oil op. Just look at where most anti-nuke lobby groups and PR hacks get their funding from.

      Yep, nuclear is a good stopgap and backup while renewables are in development.

        Not just as a stop gap. I haven’t seen a single functional model for a low carbon energy grid which doesn’t include nuclear.

          EXACTLY! Nuclear is a good option when renewables aren’t around.

      Yes and no. My father in law, an environmental scientist, is very anti-nuclear as well. But he’s also anti-fossil and he advocates for renewable energy like wind, solar and hydro.

      He recently showed me some interesting studies and reports on how renewable energies should be more than enough (for countries like The Netherlands and Belgium, maybe not everywhere).

    German Greens misunderstood “climate change advocacy” as advocate in favor of climate change…

          Grenns are just libs, but ultras also often do that, they protest against nuclear power without having any alternative and just being like “i’m sure what will replace it will be renewables” while completely ignoring the material reality like huge influence of fossil lobbies, lack of political will and technical difficulties.

    Nuclear power would destroy the artificial scarcity that capitalists need for their profit-making schemes. Especially the last thing they want to see is many sovereign states in the Global South/Third World/Periphery/whatever independently developing and expanding their own sources of nuclear power. It’s a wide open field with possibilities that include a socialist society that we all want anyway. It’s a historical snuffing out of the candle what big oil and imperialism did to nuclear power. I don’t have a lot of compliments for the French, but I do think there are things to learn from them with regards to nuclear power. They get more of their electricity from that than other country does.

      Capitalism is already exacerbating climate change and the ultra-left just worsened it by delaying any plan for major cities to go green. Getting rid of nuclear completely defeats the point of cities transitioning to greener sources. Rural towns don’t have this problem due to their lower demands.

    Dropping nuclear power is completely moronic, now what will be our green energy source aside from shit renewables?

        It reminds me when Henryk Goryszewski, polish vice PM in 1993 said “It’s not important if there would be capitalism, freedom of speech or prosperity in Poland. Most important is that Poland would be catholic”.

        For context, Goryszewski was such a popular and people-loving minister that he got nicknamed “Cobra” (well he called himself that, but the meaning was a little changed). And head of his government, Hanna Suchocka was unironically compared to Margaret Thatcher by both her followers and opponents, for different reasons, but both correctly.

        And libs don’t believe me when i call Poland, Ukraine and Baltics “Stupidity Belt”.

      I think it’s community updated, it asked me to survey the information and vote it helpful or not.

      It will definitely be filled with bad information in some occasions.

        But have you considered the problematic “Stalinist Aesthetics” of nuclear power? (Trying to anticipate the next wave of “leftie” video essays on Youtube).
