@capnek123 Personally I think it's absolutely bonkers but don't underestimate the influence of the hard left who will oppose the lifting of the ban at all costs. Living in Australia I find the attitudes at times even more hardline than the likes of Germany. Attitudes are changing but slowly
@OhGodWhatNowPod@Dorianlynskey @zoe_grunewald @RMCunliffe In Australia John Howard in 2007 lost his seat in a Kevin Rudd landslide. A Liberal Government that had been in power too long. Alot of similarities to the current Conservative Party just less scandals.

At a Brooklyn Pawnshop, Customers Are Flooding In to Sell Gold
“People are using gold as an ATM they never had,” said Gene Furman, owner of King Gold & Pawn and Empire Gold Buyers. At Furman’s 5th Avenue store, the number of people coming in selling and pawning gold jewelry is more than three times above normal levels since prices started to rally in late February.
Among them is Branden Sabino, a 30-year-old IT specialist, who sold a gold necklace and a gold ring last week.
“Prices are high, and I need cash,” he said, adding that with the cost of rent, groceries and car insurance rising, he doesn’t have any savings. https://t.co/D9anlmb0At
@stokdog@Bowenchris His blind hate for nuclear is very Greenpeace like in let's burn oil coal gas as long as possible instead of nuclear because renewables will never replace base load. The amount of money and mined minerals to even get close is astronomical.
@EckhartsLadder Big fan of your videos. I have a theory on Ahsoka that I haven't personally seen anywhere which ties back to Timothy Zahn's contribution to the series. I can't DM you as Im not verified nor can I do so in Discord. Would be a good video idea.
Top-quality roast of Greenpeace from French journalist @emma_ducros.
With her blessing I've assembled it here in translation:
"For a long time to come, we will speak of Greenpeace's anti-nuclear obsessions as the most striking industrial accident in the NGO universe.
Putting all your effort against carbon-free energy in the midst of a climate emergency, the most suicidal and inept strategy possible. It's not hard to understand, even if it's unbelievably stupid.
Greenpeace has a base of old anti-nuclear donors from the 1970s. They have money. Greenpeace is betting on its short-term survival. Such a big ocean liner, with thousands of employees. It costs an arm and a leg to keep floating.
So Greenpeace is doing what it criticizes governments for. They procrastinate in questioning of their old reflexes. Addicted to anti-nuclearism, they no longer have clear ideas. And now they want to shoot down nuclear power as soon as possible, not for the sake of the planet, but to justify their own survival.
Parasites, at least, have the intelligence to remain restrained when sucking a host's blood. Greenpeace will exhaust its cause.
The old donors will still give, against nuclear energy and against the climate. And Greenpeace will crash on the awareness that is gaining society, in light of the German transition. Driven by Greenpeace, it's a climate catastrophe.
Any sensible organization would have understood that the "gas rather than nuclear" talk is nonsense. Except those who economically, cynically, greedily live on anti-nuclearism. We won't miss you, Greenpeace.
To see you today moaning about the slowness of nuclear power, which you have slowed down with all your might...it's pathetic. Who do you think you can convince? If you were given the solutions to do it in two years, you wouldn't want it.
Bunch of hypocrites"
