Michael Shellenberger, osnivač i predsjednik organizacije Environmental Progress, suprotstavio se ignorantskom tweetu 16-godišnje klimatske aktivistice Grete Thunberg o “klimatskog krizi” i objasnio zašto je nuklearna energija jedini put.
U nizu tweetova, objasnio je zašto su obnovljivi izvori “krajnje neprimjereni” i kako je jedini izvor energije koji može “radikalno dekarbonizirati opskrbu energijom” i koji je “najsigurniji način stvaranja električne energije” onaj nuklearni.
“Ako želite da ljudi misle kako vaš cilj nije klima, već radite na tome da države budu (i ostanu) siromašne, onda je napad na Francusku i Brazil, koje dobivaju 86% i 79% svoje energije iz izvora s nula ugljičnih emisija, sjajna strategija.
PS: 26% Brazilaca (55 milijuna ljudi) živi u siromaštvu koje si ne možete zamisliti”
If you want people to think your goal isn't climate but rather making (& keeping) nations poor, then attacking France & Brazil, which get 86% & 79% of their power from zero-carbon sources, is a great strategy
PS: 26% of Brazilians (55M people) live in poverty you can't imagine https://t.co/NjgKRC9idP

“Napadanje nuklearne energije kao ‘ekstremno opasne’ podržava taj isti osjećaj da vi ne želite smanjiti emisije, već ‘smanjiti rast’.
Zašto?
Jer je nuklearno
— način na koji Francuska i tvoja zemlja, Švedska, dobivaju 86% i 90% svoje energije iz izvora s nula ugljičnih emisija
— najsigurniji način proizvodnje električne energije”
Attacking nuclear as "extremely dangerous" reinforces the sense that what you want isn't lower emissions but "de-growth"
Why? Because nuclear
– is how France & your country, Sweden, get 86% & 90% of their power from zero-carbon sources
– is THE SAFEST way to make electricity pic.twitter.com/tArInyUmxX

“Francuski predsjednik @EmmanuelMacron je u pravu: Vaše ‘vrlo radikalne pozicije vjerojatno će antagonizirati naša društva’
Doista, one već jesu
Ali, možda je to čitavo vrijeme bio cilj?”
French President @EmmanuelMacron is right: Your "Very radical positions [are] likely to antagonize our societies"
Indeed, they already have
But then, perhaps that was the goal all along?https://t.co/20KeNyRWpm

“Diljem svijeta, oni koji žele ugasiti nuklearne elektrane i zamijeniti ih s prirodnim plinom i nekoliko ‘obnovljivih’ su @Greenpeace @billmckibben @NaomiAKlein i ostali, dok su oni koji brane nuklearnu energiju klimatski znanstvenici u čije ime tvrdite da govorite:”
Around the world, those seeking to shut down nuclear plants & replace them with nat gas & a few "renewables" are @Greenpeace @billmckibben @NaomiAKlein et al. while those people defending nuclear are the climate scientists for whom you claim to speak: https://t.co/lfHHEMDNSd

“Od 2016. godine, globalni pro-nuklearni pokret i moja nevladina organizacija su spriječili rast emisija ekvivalentan dodavanju 24 milijuna automobila na ceste
Kako? Protivljenjem vašim saveznicima
Stoga nas poštedite licemjernog moraliziranja i lažnog osuđivanja ‘klimatskih poricatelja’ i prestanite napadati nuklearnu energiju”
Since 2016, the global pro-nuclear movement & my NGO have prevented emissions from rising the equivalent of adding 24M cars to the road
How? By standing up to your allies
So spare us the hypocritical moralizing & fake denunciations of "climate deniers" & stop attacking nuclear pic.twitter.com/36ZdV9j8ST

“Kad bi vam je doista bilo stalo do klimatskih promjena, onda biste prestali napadati nuklearnu energiju i umjesto toga sudjelovali u @nuclear_pride koaliciji Stand Up for Nuclear u jednom od 32 (!) gradova diljem svijeta 20. listopada:”
If you really cared about climate change then you would stop attacking nuclear & instead participate in the @nuclear_pride coalition to Stand Up for Nuclear in one of 32 (!) cities around the world on October 20:https://t.co/dTQgppomAN pic.twitter.com/sOjo1aZzKv

“Nije me briga hoćete li se vratiti u školu ili ne, ali trebali bi se educirati zašto samo nuklearna energije može radikalno dekarbonizirati opskrbu energijom…”
I couldn't care less whether you go back to school or not but you should get educated about why only nuclear can radically decarbonize energy supplies…https://t.co/kT1zogU0mW

Shellenberger je pozvao Thunberg i ostale environmentalističke aktiviste da pogledaju kako je zagovaranje obnovljive energije u potpunosti iznevjerilo mjesta poput Vermonta i Njemačke.
“Trebali biste proučiti primjer Vermonta gdje je anti-nuklearno zagovaranje @billmckibben i @BernieSanders izravno dovelo do skoka u emisijama ugljika — i zašto su se obnovljivi izvori pokazali krajnje neprimjerenima:”
You should study the example of Vermont where the anti-nuclear advocacy of @billmckibben & @BernieSanders led directly to a spike in carbon emissions — and why renewables proved grossly inadequate:https://t.co/fXaqEMC0PD

“Trebali biste proučiti povijest jezivih, mračnih, romantičnih, anti-modernih korijena zagovornika obnovljive energije u Njemačkoj, koja svakim danom dokazuje zašto obnovljivi izvori energije ne mogu napajati modernu civilizaciju.”
You should study the history of renewable energy advocacy's creepy, dark, Romantic, and anti-modern roots in Germany, which everyday proves why renewables can't power modern civilizationhttps://t.co/jb0mIpINCx

“Ako ćete osuđivati fosilna goriva kao “zla”, onda biste trebali razmisliti zbog čega naftne i plinske kompanije troše milijune na promicanje nepouzdanih obnovljivih izvora koje vi također promičete:”
If you are going to condemn fossil fuels as "evil" then you should contemplate why it is that oil and gas companies are spending millions to promote the unreliable renewables that you, too, are promoting:https://t.co/8REtBKJPHx
— Mike Shellenberger (@ShellenbergerMD) September 28, 2019
Također je istaknuo ekološki utjecaj obnovljivih izvora energije.
“Ako ćete moralizirati protiv izumiranja vrsta zajedno sa svojim saveznicima @ExtinctionR, onda razmislite o tome kako vjetroturbine ubijaju ugrožene vrste diljem svijeta i možda doprinose odumiranju insekata u Njemačkoj i drugdje:”
If you're going to moralize against species extinction along with your allies @ExtinctionR then consider how wind turbines are killing endangered species around the world & may be contributing to the insect die-off in Germany and elsewhere:https://t.co/iA55b2sQ53

“Još uvijek ima vremena za učenje o energiji, ekonomskom razvoju i okolišu. Ali vremena je malo. Vaši napadi na nuklearnu energiju, Francusku i Brazil te vaša promocija nepouzdanih obnovljivih izvora brzo uništavaju prividne ciljeve vašeg križarskog rata.
/KRAJ”
There's still time for you to learn about about energy, economic development, & the environment. But time is short. Your attacks on nuclear, France & Brazil, and your promotion of unreliable renewables, are rapidly undermining the ostensible goals of your crusade.
