Only nuclear allows for economic growth and radical reductions in air pollution and environmental impact.
Just look at France and Germany
France spends little more than half as much for electricity that is *10 times* less polluting than German electricity

Nuclear requires 0.25% of the land as renewables like solar & wind
It takes at least *450 times* more land to generate the same amount of electricity from solar as nuclear
It takes at least *400 times* more land to generate the same amount of electricity from wind as nuclear

Nuclear has the smallest environmental footprint *by far*

So don't believe the apocalyptic & misanthropic hype of Extinction Rebellion
They are in the grip of a dystopian fervor that has nothing to do with the environment or climate change
The *only* Green New Deals that work are with nuclear, not renewables

Four days before Stand Up, Berlin, German newspaper joins growing chorus of voices calling for end to nuclear phase-out!
“In order to achieve the climate goals, taboo topics must also be on the agenda.”
🙌
Keep the faith, everyone, it’s gonna happen!

And now this:
“Chill winds blow for Renewables”
“Local opposition has become biggest block for wind & other renewables... the most common grounds for complaint in Germany is the protection of birds and bats, which can be endangered by wind turbines”

My special message for atomic humanists in Australia!
Hundreds of people in 33 cities stood up for nuclear last Sunday
Our positive action sharply contrasts to the apocalyptic & violent behavior of @ExtinctionR in London
Here's why atomic humanism will triumph over climate apocalypse — please share!

@ExtinctionR I have been an environmental activist for 33 years. During that time, I have never seen a more depressing, death-affirming environmental protest than XR’s protest in London.
@ExtinctionR Londoners were right to be upset by the XR activist who blocked public transportation
Britain is already in a transition to low-carbon energy
It receives 20% of its power from nuclear, 11% from wind, 4% from solar, and 39% from natural gas. Just 5% came from coal last year.

In blocking the London Tube, @XRLondon activists showed once again that the concern of apocalyptic environmentalists is not climate change but rather the radical reorganization of society to become a low-energy agrarian one.

@XRLondon Before the protests, @ExtinctionR compared itself to civil rights pioneer Rosa Parks who refused to move from the front of the bus to the back of the bus and helped end racial segregation.
But Rosa Parks was a black protester peacefully demanding integration while the XR activist atop the train was a white protester who violently kicked a black commuter in the face before being dragged down into a mob that could have killed him.
And Rosa Parks was fighting for the inclusion of formerly-excluded people in public transit and modern, high-energy life, while XR is fighting for their exclusion.
You don’t have to look very hard for the symbolism. XR put its own people in danger by urging them to engage in actions that could have resulted in their death and the death of others, all while demanding we go back into poverty.
Consider the 83-year-old protester who glued his hand to the train to prevent it from running
When commuters demanded to know why he was blocking the technology XR activists say they want, the man said, “Why on earth do we want economic growth when we are using 1.7 Earths?”

The man was repeating Malthusian nonsense.
His claim is based on the scientifically-discredited work of “Earth Overshoot Day” and the “Ecological Footprint” organization I and others debunked.

The man also condemned cities, but cities are how humans save nature.
By working in cities and growing more food on less land, humans move away from the poverty of small farmer life, which involves the use of wood as fuel, which destroys forests.

As humankind grows richer it moves from wood to coal to natural gas to uranium we use less electricity.
But XR made it abundantly clear it isn't interested in saving nature or lifting everyone out of poverty.

What motivates the apocalyptic @ExtinctionR is the feeling of power its zealous adherents feel from terrifying themselves and others, including their children, and disrupting society.
@ExtinctionR Claiming the end of the world is just one side of the coin for apocalypse fanatics throughout history. The other side is utopia.
But in this case, the supposed “utopia” XR and Thunberg are demanding is of low-energy agrarian poverty.

@ExtinctionR Atomic humanism will triumph over the apocalyptic climate movement because most people want a high energy life and don’t want to go back to agrarian poverty.
Nor do most people want to keep wood fuel-using developing nations trapped in poverty.

@ExtinctionR Neither @ExtinctionR nor @GretaThunberg have apologized for goading their supporters to take such dangerous actions.
Instead, they called the near-fatal incident a “mistake” implying the problem was merely tactical.
It wasn’t.

The decision to shut down public transportation and engage in other dangerous tactics flows directly from the organization’s apocalyptic worldview.

After watching the traumatic events unfold on London’s tube, I was thus happy to sing songs and meet the children of pro-nuclear advocates at Stand Up for Nuclear in Paris.
