I’ve never understood why the enviro extremists and the liberals oppose nuclear power.

Nuclear power plants produce zero greenhouse gases. They profess to be worried about the greenhouse gases. Yet a technology which produces zero of that pollution is rejected.

I’ve never understood why the enviro extremists and the liberals oppose nuclear power.

Because they're liars. They were all for it, until it proved successful. Now they're against it, because it provides steady, controllable, reliable, inexpensive energy for We the People.

Can't have that. The peasants must live in misery and squalor.

I’ve never understood why the enviro extremists and the liberals oppose nuclear power.

They think we're "poisoning the planet" by putting nuclear waste into the ground. The rest of the world reprocesses it but the U.S. hasn't been allowed to since 1977. By those very same people.

It’s because the energy policy of the Left is NO energy for the masses. As soon as coal and natural gas are shut down they’ll start attacking wind and solar. It’s not about CO2. It’s about elitists reestablishing the feudal system.

Extremists and the liberals have probably never been taught basic science. Instead, they've likely been indoctrinated to let others do their "thinking" for them which is mostly hating and demonizing.

At first, primarily, because most "Greens" are watermelons - Green on the outside, and red on the inside. It was a way to cripple the west, especially the United States.

Now it is part of the overall globalization and China First strategy. Plenty of nukes in places other than Western Civilization. Just keep breaking down the West and building up the Rest.

When I was a kid in the early 80’s I remember when leftists were protesting the construction then of what was to become the Marble Hill Nuclear Power Plant in southern Indiana.

Between leftist groups and a claim that there was faulty construction in the concrete of the reactors along with a cost overrun, I think then Governor Robert Orr decided to being construction to a hault.

Nuclear fusion never happened there. It never went online and today I believe the property is dormant. A big shame.
