How anger at the rollout of renewables is being hijacked by a new pro-nuclear network
An alliance of political groups is harnessing real fears about the local impact of renewables projects across Australia – and using them to spruik nuclear power
All the “anger at the rollout of renewables” is just Astroturf by the fossil fuel industry.
If you do 30 seconds of research into the “No Windfarms”, “No Pylons” and “No Solar Farms” movements, you will discover that they are all run by a handful of marketing firms associated with the Fracking Industry.
There is no “anger at renewables”.
Yeah but it's better if they can distract you by blaming it on nuclear.
Yes. The fossil fuel groups pushing nuclear is just a pivot. It is denial and delay all the way and they always funded these psuedo protest groups.
It is a shame. I am moderately pro-nuclear but we can't have any sensible debate about the reality of nuclear power in Australia while one side is only in it to preserve stranded asset value.
They have no commitment to nuclear power or reducing carbon emissions which is why they don't care about the economics. It is a cynical con but I think it might prove successful in winning voters concerned about climate change over to the coalition at the next election.
Fracking wrecks the water table for everyone. It should be banned nationwide
Every post about it.
wouldn't that be a good thing?
