I will not be surprised if in the near future some intrepid journalist discovers that these “young #climate activists” are actually an #astroturfing #propaganda front group financed by the #nuclear power industry.

No surprise at all.

They’ve done this before & they’ll do it again.

Young climate activist tells Greenpeace to drop ‘old-fashioned’ anti-nuclear stance

Swedish teenager Ia Anstoot says group’s ‘unscientific’ opposition to EU nuclear power serves fossil fuel interests

The Guardian

I’m not anti-nuclear power, fwiw. I believe that existing plants that meet modern post #Fukushima safety standards should be used for as long as it takes to decarbonize the #energy sector.

However, #GreenPeace is absolutely correct that no new #nuclear plants should be built since they are too costly and take too much time to build.

New nuclear has no significant role in fighting the #climateemergency.

That’s just the science. I trust it.

@japanskier
don't you forget that Greenpeace is fighting nuclear since a very long time now, despite scientific proofs that an energy-mix including nuclear energy would be more efficient? it has decreased actions to maintain actual nuclear plants, promoting some risks.
Greenpeace is promoting biogaz which are a very big concern on natural habitat, reducing lands for wildlife, promoting land use (from food to energy) of agricultural area, and not always green ...

#Greenpeace certainly does *not* promote #biogas. That is widely debunked disinformation. Please kindly correct your post. Also, please post a link to scientific proofs that an energy mix with nuclear is more efficient?

Briefing notes obtained by FoI reveal minister meeting with Drax CEO was told Greenpeace supported practice

The Guardian

just based on the French webpage of Greenpeace and the fact that the Green Planet Energy (based on Greenpeace at first) promote the use of renewable biogas.
Sorry, but not sorry ;)

Climat : pourquoi faut-il sortir du gaz ?

Le gaz « naturel » ou fossile, n’est pas vraiment l’ami de la nature. C'est une énergie polluante et nocive pour le climat, dont il faut se passer rapidement.

@GSouchay The web link you sent says that Greenpeace opposes all forms of gas… except for 100% renewable gas such as green hydrogen and that such technology is still in its infancy.

Greenpeace does not “promote” biogas anywhere.

Anyhow have a good one.
