Real environmentalists are in favor of nuclear power.

It's only the fake ones who oppose it.

Anyone who is surprised to find out that shutting down a nuclear power plant would cause an increase in use of fossil fuels is terribly misinformed, because wind farms and solar farms use natural gas as a backup for when the wind isn't blowing or the sun isn't shining.

Just shut down all the coal plants. Only the elite need electricity. The rest of humanity can eat cake.

My fear with switching to nuclear power is that the left will in the future say it's not only bad for the environment, it's dangerous, doncha know. In other words, they'll have a louder voice at banning nuclear than they do with coal or natural gas. Keep in mind that it was not too long ago (Obama years) that the left was pushing to switch to natural gas. They'll change their mind on nuclear just as quickly.

IMHO we lose the argument when we let them switch us to nuclear or anything else. Instead we should try to win the argument that the left has no power to dictate what energy we use.

Why are the Gas companies even selling Gas to New York while being sued by New York for climate change?

There’s a very simple fix for this.
Simply reduce the amount of power generted by “fossil fuel” plants to some arbitrary minimum level.

...and let them freeze (or broil) in thr dark.
... or, pay insabe rates.
...OR, have the state take over all power generation and run it everybody’s satisfaction.

Easy.

Oops, they do stupid crap without a real plan; then they complain about being in a rough spot.
Why do people allow these a-holes to run things? Really, why?

My understanding of the closure of the Indian Point Nuclear Facility was more due to it’s hate-filled name, than anything to so with saving the planet.

Pushing electric everything while sabotaging the grid. Think about what that accomplishes.
