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.
“Yay! We’re on the US’ needle now instead of the Russian needle! And this one is loads more expensive!”
Do you remember what one Baltic politician said?
“It’s better to be a dump of Europe than a showcase of the USSR”
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”.
