    There isn’t enough opposition to entrenched influence. They push back against huge companies doing shitty things. I like that.

    I’m ambivalent about their anti-nuclear stance. Renewables seem like a much better bet, but it’s hard to say no to anything that would slow down climate change.

    They’ve screwed up on some of their actions, sure. But they’re pushing in the right direction.

      If we (society as a whole) had started switching to renewables when Greenpeace first started campaigning for them, I suspect we wouldn’t have the climate emergency that makes nuclear look attractive.

      It’s hard to expect them to change their stance just because we failed to follow their lead for decades.

      absolutely, i’ve done a lot of research on nuclear energy recently and i can safely say: we should’ve shut down the coal plants. but there are some real problems with long-term storage. so if we did leave them running, we still would need to get renewable either way.
