Prominent green & somewhat evangelical RE proponent finally *partially/begrudgingly* sees the light on the challenges of RE & fossil fuels stranglehold and role for nuclear...

... albeit with some gaslighting (bonus pun) - a wee thread

So 👏 but also 🤦

Here’s the (good) acknowledgment of the challenge and I think recognition that despite growth, RE isn’t an easy and quick cert

Based on recognition (see eg 👇but there was lots of good stuff) of how fossil fuels (FF) and especially gas are being used symbiotically with RE...
... he positions as due to irrepressible evil FF industry but arguably (also) due to inherent issue with RE (intermittency)

But gaslighting:
“nuclear folk in my mentions are stunningly bad at recognising just how bad the fossil fuel industry is...”
What?
No that’s pretty much *exactly* what nuclear proponents (& critics of green naïveté) say & have been trying to get through to ortho Greens

Sadly it’s also moves only halfway to acknowledge need for nuclear as a gap-filler & that solutions to be based on👇.
“Social preferences and good vibes”

Other than the nauseating bro “vibe” this is more gaslighting given the Greens’ -ive greenwash of nuclear/radiation scare
