Are we never going to stop this madness?

Nuclear will not help us with immediate energy needs, it will not help with climate change and it is worse for the environment, and it costs more than renewables.

The only people who benefit are the shareholders of nuclear companies and the government shit stains who pocket their brown envelopes and take the “consulting” jobs offered by the industry for services rendered.

And all this time, effort and money, OUR MONEY, is not being spent on renewables that can do what we need NOW.

We cannot continue to accept this or any other option that is not renewable.

Any and all opposition against renewable energy is generated and spread by the nuclear and fossil fuel industries.

Nothing I’ve said here is even controversial, there isn’t any hiding from it.

We have to fight this and we have to win.

    Mate, if you want to convince people that your point of view is better than theirs you might start by not cursing them with poxes.

    Maybe stop moaning at them and people might want to listen?

      Heh, the curse came after the down votes. Interestingly, the thoughtful comments engaging with the OP came after that and I’ve replied accordingly.

      If you want to engage with that then please do, I’m all ears.
