Maybe this is already widely understood on here, but I feel understanding how the anti-communist left was leveraged to fight nuclear energy.
As more people are reading this I wanted to share what I consider to be a superior analysis https://communistperspective.blogspot.com/2013/12/the-nuclear-debate-for-and-against.html
And to be clear, you can be pro-renewable without being anti-nuclear I am referring to many of the European Green parties that are anti-nuclear above all else. Nuclear has it’s drawbacks, but it is preferable to climate change, for now.

I love reading about nuclear power. Please give me resources to read about nuclear power. I know it’s a political topic but I just think nuclear power is very cool. And radiation.
I find material about the environmental impact of different power sources difficult to understand. I know very little about this. If anyone knows how I can understand this better, I would appreciate the help.
Doesn’t want to broach political topics.
Is a Marxist-Leninist.
Lol I know you meant controversial* but I couldn’t let that softball pass me up.
I will link you in any future comments or posts I make about nuclear power
I meant that my fascination is very disconnected from my politics and ideology. I have no other way to explain it than monkey brain goes “wow, powerful rock”. Further explained by my poor understanding of environmental impact, I couldn’t defend it against renewable resources for example.
But yeah, as a Communist I do find most things Political™ and that makes me insufferable IRL
Everything is political, all power other than political power is illusory. (re-reading it, this could sound rude - I was actually criticizing the people who find panic insufferable for finding most things political)
