Backing Net-Zero Emissions & Not Backing Nuclear Power Generation: You Can’t Be Serious
25 Oct 2021 Leave a comment
The anti-capitalist, anti-progress, anti-human climate zealot reveals himself by backing net-zero emissions while rejecting nuclear power generation.
The crony capitalist pursuing a net-zero target is, of course, easy to spot; with him, it’s a case of follow the money. Whip up the fear and imminent climate catastrophe and then point to the only ‘solution’ on offer in rent-seeker town: wind and solar power, only made possible by massive and endless subsidies, that naturally fuel his interest in ‘saving the planet’.
The crony capitalist will merrily line his pockets while depriving the Third World and the working poor in his own country of reliable and affordable electricity, and the jobs and prosperity it brings. His motive is simply greed and profit. Think Al Gore and his buddies.
The climate zealot does it because he has a burning antipathy towards all humans to do not share his doomsday-is-nigh sense of pessimism.
