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.
Pretty sure in Germany this had to do with the anti-war movement. Nuclear power is dual-use technology and so a precursor to a nuclear-armed Germany. Apparently Germany could make a nuke within weeks, if they wanted to. So it’s about nuclear non-proliferation and arms control and such.
People are also afraid of accidents and having the nuclear waste spill, of course. Lots of Chernobyl fallout here too.
