Nuclear power is dirty, dangerous and expensive. Say no to new nukes.

Nuclear energy has no place in a safe, clean, sustainable future. Nuclear energy is both expensive and dangerous, and just because nuclear pollution is invisible doesn’t mean it’s clean. Renewable energy is better for the environment, the economy, and doesn’t come with the risk of a nuclear meltdown.

I would love to see what they say about the ecology disaster from dam/hydroplant, air flow problem from wind mill, or dirty mining for solar panels.

One of these things is not like the other...

Carbon offsets are still an accounting scam.

If they are, a source with less antipathy to the practical nuclear alternative would be more compelling. Instead Greenpeace espouses a dogmatic position on both issues.

I don't make a blanket judgment on a claim based on some other claim. GP's stance on nuclear has nothing to do with the fact that carbon offsets are an accounting scam designed to virtue signal to the public and allow these mega corporations to continue with business as usual.
