Xpost from UK Energy.

Are we never going to stop this madness?

Nuclear will not help us with immediate energy needs, it will not help with climate change and it is worse for the environment, and it costs more than renewables.

The only people who benefit are the shareholders of nuclear companies and the government shit stains who pocket their brown envelopes and take the "consulting" jobs offered by the industry for services rendered.

And all this time, effort and money, OUR MONEY, is not being spent on renewables that can do what we need NOW.

We cannot continue to accept this or any other option that is not renewable.

Any and all opposition against renewable energy is generated and spread by the nuclear and fossil fuel industries.

Nothing I've said here is even controversial, there isn't any hiding from it.

We have to fight this and we have to win.

There can easily be enough renewable energy generated here for 100% of our needs 100% of the time. In fact much moreso.

Any suggestion otherwise comes from nuclear, oil and gas industry misinformation.

Batteries as they are now are not going to help. They are too costly, environmentally damaging, human exploiting, and only make Mr X even more wealthy.

We don't need them and we certainly don't want any of that or him. They are all lying so that we don't make renewables. Every time there is doubt, they are winning. Every time there is a debate, they are winning. When anything delays the move to renewables, they are winning.

I don't want them to win.

I want us to win.
