Ugh. Quite disgusted to discover there is a Fediverse instance doing propaganda for ☢️ nuclear power, and that they do the same tired old thing they always do:
A) claim all the other ways of generating power are dirty too
B) don't mention how outrageously expensive it is to build, run, clean up after
C) don't mention how it can be used by invading forces or domestic terrorists - like Zaporizhzhia

...and so much more disinformation.

Pls join me in blocking the instance

Why should you? Are they inciting violence, hate-speech, homo/trans-fobic or nazi ideas?

Seeing the world differently doesn't give you any "moral superiority", so why hiding a different worldview?

[lachasseuse@mastodon.scot]

@77nn The justification would be that they are spreading disinformation, ie, things that are well-known to be untrue - and to my mind, purposely leaving out key pieces of information is equally mendacious.

Compare vaccine misinformation?

I will not be dragged into a discussion on information vs misinformation and who holds each. It looks like each side of this topic has their own valid sources, facts and legitimate opinions, differently from anti-vaxxer or chemtrailers and other conspiration theorists. It is not so clear where misinformation stands, and in my neutral stance over the two, I still can see the possibility of coexistence of different energy technologies, with possible mitigations for legitimate fears and criticism.

I feel there's more potential in coexistence than in segregation.

I think we should just turn off all the polluting power plants and all the polluting infrastructure, like this, https://bu.noblogs.org/the-necessary-socialist-international/ (and then, obviously, we should not build new ones).

@jones @LaChasseuse
What do you mean by "polluting"? Releasing chemicals in the environment in order to produce anything (i.e. transform one energy into another), including production processes to build the necessary technologies? Find me anything that doesn't pollute then. Even the blacksmith or the woodworker are polluting, just to say. If you mean "pollute less" then one should be careful to set the threshold, as many things could be excluded that one would never think of.
