I kinda wonder what things look like after they've forced electric cars. There's no way we have the power production to support even 25% of cars being electric. I suppose a shortage of power is just another opportunity for them to seize more control.
Exactly. And you notice that ALL leftists are against nuclear power when it's a thousand times more powerful, consistent and almost half the cost of their green energy nonsense. Sure, there's risks of nuclear meltdowns but we've already advanced far enough since Chernobyl and Fukushima Daiichi.
Fukushima? Can that even be called a disaster for nuclear energy? It needed TWO natural disasters at the same time and even then, it's not like it went critical and exploded.
Plus, just like Chernobyl but to a lesser extent, it was also built and maintained in a less than ideal way. It was built in a location that was lower in altitude than recommended, by something like 10 meters. I also think I read some stuff that said it had poor maintenance reports but I'm less sure of that
In general they're against most forms of large-scale power generation. Greenpeace doesn't like to admit this but, given their vociferous opposition, I can only assume that their long-term plan is to return the planet to a late-medieval industrial base, which would only support a population less than 10% of it's current size.

Greenpeace doesn't have a long term plan. Their primary function is to funnel donations into the purchase of their own mansions while sending their useful idiots to spend their holidays on rusting old boats, yelling through megaphones at Japanese whalers who don't understand a word they're saying.
Just like PETA, they exist primarily so that their leadership can pay themselves fat salaries from their donations.

Sure, there's risks of nuclear meltdowns but we've already advanced far enough since Chernobyl and Fukushima Daiichi.
Sure, but those risks are absolutely minimal.
Chernobyl, yeah, that was a disaster. But it was caused by bad Commie engineering, bad Commie management and Commies need to not admit they made a mistake.
But outside of that, there's been virtually no problems. Three Mile Island is frequently cited among nutters as an example of how dangerous nuclear can be despite multiple studies showing there were no significant health impacts as a result of it and it is the worst one (I believe) that has happened in the US. As for Fukushima, yeah it is quite possibly the 2nd worst nuclear disaster the world has seen (behind Chernobyl) but you had an earthquake and tsunami directly hitting an ancient reaction. And even then, if you look at the actual UN report on it, you'll see that the health effects are again likely not going to be that bad (outside of potentially 2 groups, the plant workers who had high exposure and very young kids who lived near the reactor). The following is a direct quote from the aforementioned report (emphasis mine):
The doses to the general public, both those incurred during the first year and estimated for their lifetimes, are generally low or very low. No discernible increased incidence of radiation-related health effects are expected among exposed members of the public or their descendants. The most important health effect is on mental and social well-being, related to the enormous impact of the earthquake, tsunami and nuclear accident, and the fear and stigma related to the perceived risk of exposure to ionizing radiation. Effects such as depression and post-traumatic stress symptoms have already been reported. Estimation of the occurrence and severity of such health effects are outside the Committee’s remit
So, yeah, for the average person decades of "Nuclear bad! Nuclear evil!" may well have a bigger health impact than the actual radiation.
Fukushima: the 2nd worst nuke accident in which nobody died from radiation.
Come to think of it did anyone die from non-nuke causes at the plant? I must look that up but I recall the earthquake and tsunami causes then of thousands.
I mean, California is experiencing rolling blackouts (again) and right now they're asking people to not charge their vehicles because of it. It's going about as well as you'd expect.
And honestly I can't see mandates to only drive electric cars as anything other than a poor tax. "Oh, sorry that you can't afford a new vehicle because we banned the affordable ones for your status. Guess you just have to give up your freedom of movement and take the bus with the other poors."
The really funny thing is because you can't tell the military shit there are already two orders of magnitude more military nuclear reactors than civilian. Obviously they are smaller but we're living in the nuclear future it's just civilians don't see the benefits.
All enery fucks up nature. Hydroelectric affects fish spawn and changes habitat. Wind farms kills birds and built on tortoise land. Solar confuses and kills birds...
These environmentalists assholes will complain about something.
It's super easy to scare their people with too.

But communists going to communist, for sure.

The tsunami that lead to Fukushima caused 15,000 deaths.

Yup. The California grid can't handle current demand and only 3% of cars registered there are electric.
meanwhile the celebs and politicians are still using gas vehicles

But...but 3mile island and Chernobyl and Fukushima!- Some idiot leftist with no concept of what caused those.
