On pro-nuke, clean coal, and fuel farming "environmentalists".
Take note
From the Chait piece DR mentions in the previous article. Brand and Lovelocke absolutely are traitors. It's way past time to stop coddling rats like these guys.
Nuclear power is a disaster on every level. Period. No cuteness from Brand now is going to rehabilitate his image.
It would be like forgiving someone for supporting this administration without insisting they admit they were wrong. Brand and his ilk must publicly repudiate their support of nukes and explain their temporary insanity, just like folks like Friedman must do on their support of the Iraq war.
As I suspected the Friedman teevee piece was pure greenwashing of "clean" coal, nukes, and fuel farming. Once a traitor always a traitor?
No matter how great "The Whole Earth catalogue" was, Brand can't ride free on that anymore. Just like Lovelocke can't ride the free "Gaia" train into a nuclear paradise.
RFK jr has delayed offshore wind power with every rotten political connection he has, while NRDC has embraced "clean" coal.
The battle lines have been drawn. A traitor is a traitor. Integrity counts.The most significant fact of American political life over the last three decades is that there is a conservative movement and there has not been a liberal movement. Liberalism, to be sure, has all the component parts that conservatism has: think tanks, lobbying groups, grassroots activists, and public intellectuals. But those individual components, unlike their counterparts on the conservative side, do not see one another as formal allies and don't consciously act in concert.
