Let me tell you a story from the deep past of the mid 1990s. I was an apprentice lineman for a power Corporation on the east coast. The big wigs announced that they were going to invest in some sort of carbon scrubber for the coal plants that would clean the emissions by 78% at a cost of 8 million. (I think the numbers are right this was 25 years ago)
The Sierra Club sued. Saying for 18 mill that number could be upped to 80%. The judge ruled that it was 80% or nothing.
So nothing got upgraded. And I saw on the news they were shuttering both plants in 2019 as to polluting.
That was when my 20 something ass came do the realization the environmental groups are nothing but scams looking for money.
Because of boomers who are still scared of Chernobyl and Three Mile Island, and because of the green energy lobbyists only pushing for solar and wind (lobbyists that the left assure me don't exist).
Part of me wonders why the fuck we aren't we building modern nuclear power plants.
Another part of me thinks our society is so broken that we can not be trusted to competently and safely build and operate modern nuclear power plants.
Opposition from some of the same groups that also claim that the LITERAL APOCALYPSE is here because of greenhouse gas emissions.

I guess we should be thankful that the Sierra Club is in the process of self-destruction and anathematizing its own founder.

beats keeping aging reactors online well past their planned decommissioning...
