@nixCraft And what about the atomic waste?
@lemba @nixCraft you mean glad, right? Sorry, can't read the article due to their donate button taking 1/4th of my phone's screen, but pretty much all actually green organisations are proponents of nuclear due to its lowest impact on the environment and those that oppose it are usually the Germany case - literally paid off or even funded by oil industry giants.
@Luap314 @lemba @nixCraft alright, I went overboard with that one, I forgot that there's sadly a deplorably big group of well-meaning green organisations that oppose it due to plain ignorance and fear, and the pro-nuclear green movement is only a sub-group, even if big, growing and scientifically supported.
Events like entire green organisations or their parts being funded by oil magnates, and high-ranking politicians behind Energiewende being allegedly bribed with Gazprom positions for making Germany shut down its nuclear plants in favour of Russian gas and the promise that it's only temporary and they're totally gonna replace all of it with renewables any day now certainly don't help.
@Luap314 @lemba @nixCraft seems like most of them are explicitly focusing on the pro-nuclear aspect. I'm familiar with Polish ones such as Zielony Atom, but according to Wikipedia there's a bunch of international ones: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pro-nuclear_movement#Organizations_supporting_nuclear_power. That part of the article seems to be heavily US-centric tho, so there are likely some EU-based that it's missing.
@Amikke @nixCraft well, I don't know what else to say to a person who denies common facts about nuclear energy and refuses to see behind his own horizon than: /plonk
