Okay so I was scrolling through the PSL’s info page, and it is stated that they are to denuclearize the power grid. Why is this? I was under the impression that Nuclear Energy is the much more sustainable and frankly realistic source of power–even without Molten Salt Reactors and Thorium based ones.

 Im finding it most orgs tend to stay away from Nuclear energy due to fear mongering from fossil fuel industries; Thus its stain in the imperial core, reaching from liberals to western "leftists". But I am surprised the PSL, a radical organization, is anti-nuclear.

   FYI this isn't a deal breaker or anything--they seem to be taking the lead for vanguard party--just was curious of the stance on nuclear energy.

      experiments are cool, nuclearionics has alot of potential for advancements in energy, medical uses, space travel etc. but stuff like thorium MSR’s powering the planet with the laughter of starry eyed children, is a dream and a dumb one… they’ve been selling that steampile of garbage since the 50’s it doesn’t work. it’s stupid. knock it off already…scientists have already tried all this stuff and said it’s stupid. I don’t know when Monty Burns became an environmentalist either, I’m still very unclear on that one

          natural gas is okay, especially since were just using the shit we left behind in all the worlds oil wells, like that’s where gas comes from now just sucking it out of the rocks in old oil wells. they claim they can do it now without turning everyone’s kitchen sink into a flamethrower, and even if they can’t flamethrower sinks will always beat nuclear meltdowns. nuclear and natural gas create about the same amount of CO2 as well, im not sure which you were told creates more, but that person lies to children
