Didn't think people smart enough to use Lemmy would fall for american nuclear lobbying.

Guys come on you can't really think nuclear is better then renewables and everyone who thinks differently is having an agenda.

If something like this ends up in my feed I wanna talk to the people and see how they ended up with such "interesting" positions, that's all.

(For what I can tell most are Americans and influenced by local consent manufacturing)

I wouldn't say nuclear is better than renewables. I would say it's a good at providing base load as we transition from fossil fuels over to renewables. That's all.

Ah yes, the great and powerful American nuclear lobby... That hasn't sold a new reactor in 30 years.

Most people support nuclear because it's the best base load generation method, and that can't be replaced by renewables.

You're literally less than a degree of separation from the "nuclear is a Chinese psyop" people.

Plutonium in nuclear waste has a half lifetime of 24 000 years

The first structure which is counted as begin of civilization is was like 11 000 years ago.

Advocating against them is not automatically russion propaganda bro.

Being weary of companies who assure the public this will all be taken care of, just let them profit now is basic human sense.

(And don't come at me again with how bad fossils are, I advocate for stopping to use them to, it was just not the topic of the meme)

You trying to put me in a drawer with conspiracy theorists is saying more about you then about me
