Why the Greens Hate Nuclear Power

There is nothing that could and would alleviate poverty, hunger and disease and raise the general standard of living as well as abundant, affordable energy.

Hydro is the best but not available on a large enough scale.

Wind and solar are boutique technologies not presently capable of making serious contributions.

Coal, oil, or nuclear are the answers.

It worked in Europe and North America over the last 150 years.

If our leaders had been smart enough to concentrate on developing nuclear power technology instead of wind and solar since the 1973 oil crisis the entire world would be a far different and better place today.

Maybe they could somehow “rube goldberg” generators with a combination of cheese eating, surrendering gestures and kissing moozlums bu**s. Just sayin’...

Yep, the econuts hate ALL power. The goal is not REDUCTION of power usage; the ultimate goal of the greens is the ELIMINATION of technological civilization, but they will accept the curtailment of all technological civilization except for the elite.

Of course, that's an unstable arrangement, so the only way the greens can bring it about is by elimination of surplus population. Say, via an EMP of the power grid, or by a fast-moving deadly disease.

If you really want to be sick, look up the VHEMT (Voluntary Human Extinction Movement). Yes, these nuts really hate themselves that much.

The ultimate goal of communism is human extinction. Why? I believe it is a satanic attack against all mankind, God’s dearest creation. Environmentalism is just one tool of that attack. If they can persuade voluntary human extinction, that leaves fewer for them to kill.

[HangThemHigh]

Yes, the left really hates themselves and all of mankind, but especially the white and civilized portions.

They want us all shivering in caves in the dark. And if you can’t find a cave of your own, you are expendable.

[Reeses]

New nuclear power isn't illegal, just uneconomical without government subsidies and liability protections. With our government schooled labor pool, it's also too dangerous. Ignore the greens and invest your money in nuclear plant construction if you like. Similarly there's nothing keeping the global warming crowd from ignoring skeptics and going full ecotard. Everyone should put their money where their mouth is.
