    Funny how building nuclear power plants that can only (if you have dipshits running them) kill a nearby city is taboo, but climate change that will kill everyone is acceptable to the moralists.

      Funny how solar, wind, and batteries are way cheaper and faster to build yet people are still talking about nuclear.

        If only people weren’t fearmongering about nuclear 50 years ago we’d have clean energy today.

          That saying works for trees. We didn’t make trees obsolete with better technology.

        Stopping nuclear from being built is the problem.

        We would have had a lot more clean energy than we do by now if we let the nuclear power plants that “would take too long to build!” be built back then, because they’d be up and running by now.

        More letting perfect be the enemy of good.

          Nuclear may have been good 10 years ago, but it isn’t really good anymore. This is like saying “if I had bought a PS2 in 2002 then I would have had fun playing Final Fantasy XI Online. Therefore, I should buy a PS2 and FFXI Online so I can have fun in 2024”. That ship has sailed

        Funny how being polite didn’t convince you so now you’re trying to sell that being mean is going to stop you. You were always useless.

          Hey, I hear you, life is stressful and there’s a lot going on. It’s okay to be upset, I hope whatever you’re going through gets easier.

              Is there a particular reason you think everyone, here specifically, believes those things?

              Edit: I absolutely share your passion about climate change, as a preface. Calling someone, who agrees with you or not, “useless” makes them dismiss your opinion. It just means we can’t engage in any meaningful discussion and others are less likely to take action.
