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 highly reccomend this article
As to the fossil fuel industry puppet, that is just the article’s only mentioned source. look up literally any anti-nuclear activists that have made a career out of it, and look through their background. imo they scream “wisner’s wurlitzer” type academics. (CIA operation in the 50’s to infiltrate academia with post-modernists). Greenpeace is kind of notorious for being impractical on this front.
France gets around 70% of it’s power from nuclear with no problems. You have people who want to dismantle reactors… with no plan beyon “we need renewables”. What results is that they return to being dependent on the fossil fuel industry. That’s what Germany literally just did.
Sorry for jumping around, I have to go run errands, but the point is that when billions of dollars/annually are at stake you should put on your conspiracy glasses a bit more.
