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 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)
