anti nuclear greens make me very upset

Like.

You dont want coal, ok good im with you.

You dont want pipelines, also good im there.

And you also dont want nuclear? Like if you dont want nuclear, your getting a pipeline thats just how it works.

Your solar farm needs a gas peaker plant and that means a pipeline.

Your own activism ensures the pipeline. Stop that.

@Laurelai
I have a much more nuanced position than either you or the antinuclear greens take.
i see it as useful in a transitory phase but I do not neglect acknowledging the long term risks.
it's not something we will need forever.

@CapnMurphy I mean if you want to waste resources. Duplicating efforts and such. Decentralized electricity is wasteful.

@Laurelai if you want a truly non-hierarchical Society you cannot have centralized energy because energy is political power just like controlling the food chain that the water is political power.

Laurelai Bailey @Laurelai

@CapnMurphy Thats like saying you dont want nationalized healthcare. Its silly, backwards and wont work for the people.

@Laurelai as part of a minimum transitory program I support single payer just as I am willing to support centralized nuclear power.
But that doesn't fix fundemental long term systemic problems that caused the environmental degradation to begin with.
