There are trillions of dollars being invested in this renewables pipe dream by hippie investors like major banks, the ADB, sovereign wealth funds and medium risk private equity.

The renewables investment trajectory alone - ALONE - makes nuclear a wasted proposition, and that’s before the battery tech revolution removes the periodicity problem in the next decade.

She made good points in this joint press conference with the UN. It’s great she’s mobilising lots of young people.

Hopefully her voting block continues to shake up politics, which has been dominated for too long by slick old men and their lobbyists making money from future suffering.

The right wing don’t change their stance. Not any more. Our only hope is dying boomers being replaced by the Thunberg generation in the polls.

And that is exactly what is happening.

By the way, anyone with any knowledge at all about energy systems is not anti-nuclear, but see nuclear as a slow, curious, expensive and politically unviable side-project to the main game - baseload renewables and battery tech.

Yeah, but there are millions of young people who do care what she thinks…

There are millions of old men who piss their pants in fury at what she thinks…

There are companies who have invested millions in astroturfing against her because they are afraid about what she thinks…

And there are people like you, whose thoughts very few give two shits about TBH.

So you now, whatevs.

She thinks we should listen to the science, and she’s having impact…a lot of fucking impact. You can thank her once her voting block becomes fully age-activated.
