This is a better version of my “The case for nuclear", by the dear Zion Lights, a British pro-nuclear activist who co-founded and became the spokesperson of Extinction Rebellion, but left them because they are only anti everything and have no suggestions as to how to tackle climate change. It’s all just “no”. And splattering soup on paintings; and blocking roads.
In her view, which I agree with 100%, nuclear energy must play an important part in tackling climate change. Not exclusively, but a big part.
And the failure to include nuclear in our planning is down to ideological, not scientific, opposition from the Green parties.
I think it’s fair to say that the Greens, worldwide, have been responsible for major climate damage. They have directly created more carbon emissions, because of their opposition to nuclear, going right back to the 1960s. They remain stubbornly anti-nuclear even today, pushing for the closing of Germany’s remaining, perfectly functional, nuclear power stations. All on non-scientific, ideological grounds.
Shame on the Greens.
