nuclear what? power? Fusion? Fission? waste?

you need to correct your poorly worded topic OP. bad form

nucular

"And then the parties flipped."

I guess it just depends on what the lobbyists get paid, and by which companies.

It's definitely poorly worded, not sure if you mean the American parties flipped on nuclear recently or if the average voter is better informed on it.

But yeah, everyone has warmed up to nuclear power in recent years for the simple reason that truth tends to defeat myth given enough time.

It took decades, but liberals and leftists finally realized Greenpeace was full of ♥♥♥♥, and nuclear power had to be a part of the solution to climate change. As for right-wingers, I think they've always liked nuclear power for lizard-brain reasons, as in shattering the atom is more manly than some limp-wristed soy ass wind turbine.

Wow, that was almost... pragmatic.

I just realized I got autocorrected like a mofo.

Do lies = donkies

Pragmatism won over fear mongering and lobbying from the left, right and centre.

Also I just learned you spell donkeys donkeys and not donkies.

This thread is an abomination and it's 100% my fault lol.

Big Oil is just spending most of their lobbyism money to prop up the MIC & proxy wars, instead of delaying alternatives, would be my guess

It's Trump. He needs attention, so he basically ruins everything the US has ever accomplished.

You mean my own take, or the leftist shift on nuclear power? For the former, let's be honest here, that sprt of thing plays a huge role in public opinion. Especially on topics the average person knows nothing about.

If I'm trying to convince a leftist to support Ukraine, I'm not gonna use the same language I would for a right-winger. They're charmed/triggered by different sets of words.

"I don't like Jane, but I am Fonda nuclear power!"😀

I'd wondered what word you'd intended to use but my brain Mad Libbed in what you actually meant.

But thanks for the clarification! Autocorrect is a PITA.
