Jesus man, you want to end capitalism but fall for one of its biggest outfits? Also, right now there is just the capitalist reality and within that science tells us, that nuclear is economically not good enough to support the green transformation. I am fine with overthrowing capitalism, but till then we have to somehow manage with a reality that is inseparable from it.
Nuclear is not capitalists’ “biggest outfit.” You’re thinking of oil, and they pay astroturfers to convince people like you to be anti-nuclear.
I’m talking about the Energy Companies
Edit: the claim that the oil industry paid anyone to stop nuclear is a right wing lie. Please look it up, I don’t have the nerve for it anymore.
Oil lobby bot confirmed.
show me your proof that the oil industry paid for anti nuclear sentiment. And try to avoid right wing propaganda. then you may claim whatever you want.
Defending the oil lobby’s anti-nuclear propaganda is really not helping you.

hm, so much…yet so little
But I hope you do know the content of your little collection here and know what a shaky case you have and what conclusions one could draw from that.
It wasn’t meant to convince you. It was meant to show the lurkers you’re full of shit. I’m confident they get the picture.
