>>106311103Greens and Dems are generally against nuclear power. We're in this bizarre world, where Germany, a land of great quality control engineers, and little sunshine, shut all of their nuclear plants in favor of expensive solar; while they are supporting nuclear power for Iran (land of oil, sunshine, and comparatively shitty quality control engineers). It's totally upside-down.
For many Greens, solar and wind is an obsession, not a practical, or thought out plan; and they're aggressively ignorant to the human cost of the devastating economic effects of rapidly switching away from oil/gas/coal. There are some very sunny areas, and a few very windy areas where solar and wind power are practical, as a supplement to more reliable power sources. Texas put in a lot of solar, without government mandate or subsidy. That doesn't mean they are going to stop producing/consuming oil.
People most concerned about carbon also tend to oppose fracking. If they're paying any attention, they'd know that the byproduct produced by it (natural gas), has made the US one of the most rapidly de-carbonizing major countries as coal is replaced by gas. But they don't care about what actually benefits humans in the short and long term (i.e. they don't care about destroying the global economy, causing a drastic decrease in the quality of living in developed countries, and mass starvation in countries that rely on first world affluence).
