Solar and wind are increasingly outpacing nuclear power globally, with solar generation surpassing nuclear for the first time in 2025, according to WNISR 2026. The report highlights nuclear’s slow (…)
No we weren’t. We were fucking scared when theoretical statistics about nuclear accidents actually manifested in the real world, and didn’t want to have one of those in our neighborhood. so we took the opportunity to shut it down when it presented itself.
Those people who were funded by petroleum simultaneously made sure to delay wind and solar as long as they possibly could, and that is while we’re still stuck at coal and gas. Those same people have the majority of the vote nowadays once again, and you can watch them do it again: even though wind and solar is the most economic choice by now, they are doing what they can to slow it down.
Not really. They sometimes bring the nuclear idea to the table as an alleged alternative to solar and wind. But the reality is that in today’s democracies nuclear is near impossible to build for a variety of reasons. It’s never a real alternative, only one to slow down wind and solar.
For as long as I can remember, the entire world has had 400-something running nuclear power plants. I suspect 400-something is a fundamental nuclear constant.
Under the radar, those “environmentalists” were possibly funded by petroleum companies.

… to slow down wind, solar and nuclear, exactly.
