Okay so I was scrolling through the PSL’s info page, and it is stated that they are to denuclearize the power grid. Why is this? I was under the impression that Nuclear Energy is the much more sustainable and frankly realistic source of power–even without Molten Salt Reactors and Thorium based ones.

 Im finding it most orgs tend to stay away from Nuclear energy due to fear mongering from fossil fuel industries; Thus its stain in the imperial core, reaching from liberals to western "leftists". But I am surprised the PSL, a radical organization, is anti-nuclear.

   FYI this isn't a deal breaker or anything--they seem to be taking the lead for vanguard party--just was curious of the stance on nuclear energy.

    That ignores the scientific fact that even the worst nuclear disasters we’ve had aren’t as bad as the worst fossil fuel or even hydroelectric disasters we’ve had. That ignores how damaging the business as usual of the fossil fuel extraction and consumption industries are. It’s like you say, and as I wrote in my original comment as well, this perception is all by design as it benefits fossil fuel industries.
