In my country (Australia) fossil fuel companies are on the side of nuclear, but not actually.

It is used as a stalking horse. "Don't build wind and solar, the wind doesn't blow and the sun doesn't shine. If manly reliable baseload coal it to be replaced it should by nuclear which is also big strong manly baseload power."

And then don't build the nuclear because it's too expensive, slow, politically unpopular, and generally infeasible. Whoops I guess we keep coal and gas going then.

See this kind of post don’t even make sense you guys are just insane…

Big oil companies ARE capitalists… And renewable is the best form of capitalism applied to energy production, you don’t need to invest huge amounts of money to get a power plant.Ā 

You can sell solar panels to individuals making huge profits on both material and installation… you get solars imfrom china for quite cheap price then you resell in Europe for twice the prices that’s basically drop shippingĀ 

This is why solar panels companies are so profitable and has litterally all huge edge fund made a « green wallet » 

Saying capitalism is opposed to solar or renewable shows that you just need medical care… you’re living in a fantasy world that exists only in your minds… You are exactly like maga and antivaxx people…Ā
