It’s a two-pronged strategy.
The lesser-evil candidates piggyback on the greater-evil ones by saying “Hey, at least we’re not as bad as that guy!”
It’s super effective against useful idiots.
So if our energy needs are not being met even while burning fossil fuels, why would you argue against nuclear energy which further reduces the supply of available energy?
Because it makes zero sense.
Translation: They can’t make an egregious amount of profit off of everyone else’s hard work.
Nuclear energy isn’t as profitable as oil, but that doesn’t mean it’s not economically viable.
Business owners will simply have to make less profit, which is fine. There are plenty of people who work harder than them for less.
Thank you for bringing some light to these people living in the dark.
I swear, some people see an influencer say “nuclear is actually really bad!” and then just take it and run.
Really puts into perspective how smart the average person in these days. They’re just trying to look good in front of their peers.
Hate to break it to you, bud, but energy is already priced according to how expensive it is to provide.
It’s not about “this energy source vs. that energy source.” It’s about increasing the supply of available energy.
Read a book on energy and you’ll quickly realize that as we produce more energy, we consume more. Right now, our energy needs are not being met even with fossil fuels + nuclear + renewables.
How do we supply power when renewables aren’t enough?
No it’s not.
Let’s see here… nuclear meltdowns have damaged the environments around the few plants that have experienced them.
Burning fossil fuels has damaged our entire planet…
It’s not perfect, but to forego nuclear energy while still burning fossil fuels is retarded.
How does the cost compare to the starting and operating a coal mine?
What about oil wells and refineries?
There’s no good reason to be against nuclear power.
Ahh, you gotta keep in mind: useful idiots.
I don’t mind having a power plant near me.
It’s a minuscule risk compared to what we deal with every day with cars.
You’re more likely to get cancer from eating red meat.
Now living under power lines? That’s dangerous.
Talk about arguing in bad faith.
Do you honestly expect rational adults to take your ‘point’ seriously? Like, come on.
The same shit you’re saying could be said about landfills. “Let me just put the trash in YOUR garden!”
It’s not an either-or.
We need as many sources of energy as possible to increase the available supply and reduce the cost.
Useful idiots keep shouting “she’s too young” while voting for dinosaurs.
Really puts into perspective how ‘smart’ the average voter is.
Citizens United was such a misstep, because most people can’t think for themselves and their votes can be bought by convincing them that voting for X will make them look good in front of their peers.
Toast.
Because he’s a useful idiot who just parrots what other people tell him.
Don’t think I can support anyone running against AOC. She’s the best candidate by a country mile.
It’s not even that she’s so spectacular, it’s just the other options are horrendously shit.
Gearing up for the tsunamis of useful idiots though telling me why we need a moderate candidate just like hillary and kamala.
lol
Yeah. You’re just showing us that you lack a fundamental understanding of how the power grid works.
It doesn’t, but I’d like to see you explain how.
No it doesn’t. We still need more energy sources.
Our energy needs are not being met right now. I can’t stress this enough: you simply do not have even a basic level of understanding about how the power grid works.
Yeah. You’re clueless.
