As you might expect, in the immediate aftermath of one of the worst nuclear disasters ever.


Except that when presented with the evidence that Fukushima had a seriously outdated design (it didn't fail to safe and scram the reactor when the power failed) and that its backup power was so poorly sited so as to defy description (they put the backup generator on the beach, so it was the first thing the tsunami took out), they still lost their minds.

The movie The China Syndrome stuck a little too firmly in some people's minds.

But as a general matter, there were a bunch of us on PA (and elsewhere) who argued against the anti-nuke crowd, and that it didn't make sense for Greens to fight nuclear while simultaneously pointing out the existential threats of carbon emissions. Especially when Germany started closing down its nukes.

Nope. There a very few carbon neutral or very tiny carbon emitting power sources on the planet but for some reason (Gee, wonder what...) the Greens don't want to get behind

Nuclear
Tidal
Geothermal
Hydroelectric

Can't figure out why.
