        Hard to accept conclusions with flawed arguments. Nuclear switch off haven't increased Germany's CO2 rates too much. https://www.cleanenergywire.org/news/german-carbon-emissions-rise-2016-despite-coal-use-drop …pic.twitter.com/gdqOqrWTiQ

        Just that they've spent € billions by the hundreds on renewables, only to waste the CO2 progress by shutting down nukes.

        Far more people die every month due to non use of nuclear energy than have died in nuclear accidents ever Example:http://www.scmp.com/news/china/article/1632163/670000-deaths-year-cost-chinas-reliance-coal …

        I didn't see myself making a pro fossil fuel case here. It is possible to do both, get rid of fossil fuel and nuclear energy

        Greenpeace is a criminal organization with inexplicably good PR among naive youth.

        A little context in Korea: some plants well past service date near city centers: corruption scandal with nuclear components.

        The main reason the Greens push back against nuclear power is the scientific juvenile emotional semantic connection with nuclear bombs.

        Sadly, Greenpeace, was doomed to the same inevitable fate as all other ideological groups, given enough time: their dogmas become rabid.

        Until nuclear power boosters embrace radical honesty re legit criticism & dark history, cultish scapegoating like this is all you've got.

        I don't know of a single pro-nuclear person who suggests nuclear history is perfect

        But "not perfect" is so grudging and minimizing! Then it's on to belittling skeptics & overselling a "clean" total break with messy past.

        The only nuclear power proponent I'm ever going to trust will sound nearly indistinguishable from a paranoid, gloomy, distrustful opponent.

        Just the kind of sniping among allies that will keep us from making real progress against our common enemies
