Textbook Stockholm Syndrome.
You’re so dependent on what your abusers provide, it distracts you from what they take away.
So again: Fall in line or die. Those are our options. If you don’t like it that’s really too bad. Such is life.
Life is only this way because there are more people like you than people like me. Good job being a part of the problem instead of the solution.
Congrats.
Businessmen bank on people with low standards like yours so they can make more money off of you than they would with me.
Yeah. You’re just showing us that you lack a fundamental understanding of how the power grid works.
Nuclear keeps us on the teet of fossils fuels for longer than switching to renewables.
It doesn’t, but I’d like to see you explain how.
Nuclear takes too long to build.
No it doesn’t. We still need more energy sources.
Renewables can come online incrementally displacing fossil fuels far sooner.
Our energy needs are not being met right now. I can’t stress this enough: you simply do not have even a basic level of understanding about how the power grid works.
It drops the rate of damage faster.
Yeah. You’re clueless.
So if our energy needs are not being met even while burning fossil fuels, why would you argue against nuclear energy which further reduces the supply of available energy?
Because it makes zero sense.
Translation: They can’t make an egregious amount of profit off of everyone else’s hard work.
Nuclear energy isn’t as profitable as oil, but that doesn’t mean it’s not economically viable.
Business owners will simply have to make less profit, which is fine. There are plenty of people who work harder than them for less.
Thank you for bringing some light to these people living in the dark.
I swear, some people see an influencer say “nuclear is actually really bad!” and then just take it and run.
Really puts into perspective how smart the average person in these days. They’re just trying to look good in front of their peers.
Hate to break it to you, bud, but energy is already priced according to how expensive it is to provide.
It’s not about “this energy source vs. that energy source.” It’s about increasing the supply of available energy.
Read a book on energy and you’ll quickly realize that as we produce more energy, we consume more. Right now, our energy needs are not being met even with fossil fuels + nuclear + renewables.
How do we supply power when renewables aren’t enough?
No it’s not.
Let’s see here… nuclear meltdowns have damaged the environments around the few plants that have experienced them.
Burning fossil fuels has damaged our entire planet…
It’s not perfect, but to forego nuclear energy while still burning fossil fuels is retarded.
How does the cost compare to the starting and operating a coal mine?
What about oil wells and refineries?
There’s no good reason to be against nuclear power.
Ahh, you gotta keep in mind: useful idiots.
I don’t mind having a power plant near me.
It’s a minuscule risk compared to what we deal with every day with cars.
You’re more likely to get cancer from eating red meat.
Now living under power lines? That’s dangerous.
Talk about arguing in bad faith.
Do you honestly expect rational adults to take your ‘point’ seriously? Like, come on.
The same shit you’re saying could be said about landfills. “Let me just put the trash in YOUR garden!”
It’s not an either-or.
We need as many sources of energy as possible to increase the available supply and reduce the cost.
Venezuela has the “dirtiest oil in the world.”
Good!
Artificial scarcity was always dumb as fuck.
Sad watching useful idiots living vicariously through business leaders.

The powers that b know how to take advantage of human psychology. They have people working around the clock figuring out ways to further exploit it.
