minus-squareflossdaily@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0arrow-down1·2 years agoGood! Anti-nuclear is like anti-GMO and anti-vax: pure ignorance, and fear of that which they don’t understand. Nuclear power is the ONLY form of clean energy that can be scaled up in time to save us from the worst of climate change. We’ve had the cure for climate change all along, but fear that we’d do another Chernobyl has scared us away from it.
