Nuclear Power Was Once Shunned at Climate Talks. Now, It’s a Rising Star.

Yeah, because it'll tie budgets up for ten years building it, and in the meantime all the fossil fuel people can tap those final nails into our coffin while they line their pockets.

If America hadn't responded to Chernobyl with fear of atomic power and instead adopted a "this is why communism will fail, look how much better we can do it" attitude, the climate crisis would be a non-issue right now

Perfect. Now that renewable technology is finally cheap and quick to build, the oil and gas lobby is trying to redirect attention to nuclear, which takes decades to build in most places.

How disappointing.

Renewables and storage are far superior, in almost every conceivable metric it’s not funny.

Yet we let conservatives hype up nuclear garbage and carbon recapture as the solution to climate change.

About fucking time.

We've postponed nuclear for +40 years, causing climate change to get further and further out of hands.

Thanks Greenpeace /s

I used to be pro-nuclear and I am still not worried about the safety issue. However, fissile material is still a finite resource and mining for it is an ecological disaster, so I no longer am in favor of it.

People who think Nuclear is very safe and impossible to fuck up forget they will have a government department called Doge being run by a fuckwit

Fuck

Thats what happens when they become more financially viable. Shouldn't really surprise anybody.

Plus ruzzians are shooting Ukraine with hyper rockets.

From November 15.

But they produce the strongest greenhouse gas by far. Water Vapour.
