He wants to shut down existing nuclear reactors, cancel new ones. Even on climate grounds, a disaster
I knew Bluesky skewed left but the number of people here defending Melenchon is quite shocking.
(If you want to have an actual discussion, be my guest, but before you present an argument please look at his positioning on Russia, on NATO, on the EU, and on Germany. For a start.)

Rolls-Royce build nuclear reactors lol.
If you want to have a British aerospace engineer go completely off the rails, ask "like the cars?" whenever they say "Rolls-Royce"

If we built more nuclear reactors we wouldn't be having as much as an issue with climate change.
thousand percent. we've already walked back so many initiatives that were threatening to End Us in a hundred years. having to balance out idiotic shit like data centers as a "figuring-out process" undermines the collective intelligence of the world at large. we lived through nuclear waste backlash.

Even nuclear advocate David Keith says abandon new CANDU reactors, citing costs, safety and proliferation risks.
But replacing them with American reactors isn't the answer.
Ontario needs affordable wind, solar and storage, NOT more nuclear.

At least with nuclear reactors the proponents were trying to convince everyone of how they _wouldn't_ cause the end of the world

The fully carbon nuetral plans had.. onsite mini nuclear reactors.. which was admittedly ambitious.

he wants to replace nuclear reactors with renewable energies by 2060, that is a bit different than what Merkel did.

Although its six reactors have been shut down since 2022, their radioactive fuel continues to generate heat and requires cooling. If electricity supplies fail for a prolonged period and cooling cannot be restored, nuclear fuel could overheat, become damaged and potentially melt.

playing this building game where a lot of the players are american or ukranian/russian and they both have something in common.
eastern european players often build nuclear reactors that melt down
american players often build tornado sirens and blow up their baseplates to simulate the destruction

China was adding a gigawatt a day last near. Not sure if they've kept up that pace, but that's like 1.4 nuclear reactors coming online per day, every day for at least a month straight. Pretty incredible progress.

He wants to implement drastic pro-environmental measures but also want to phase out nuclear reactors because campists don't like nuclear energy. He's for international cooperation so he wants everything to go through the UN but he hates the US so he wants to make buddy buddy with Russia too.

Remembering that someone did the math and came to the fact that Wulv's nuts are about 200 TONS and have an energy output comparable to a pair of nuclear reactors. I didn't really understand the math but it WAS pretty hot.

holding this position alongside a neutral-to-mildly-positive view on the reactors themselves is interesting (though I don't think there need to be many new ones)
