How dare she?

But, as has been said, if you're really interested in being "green," nuclear is the way to go.

Greta who?

Translation of Thunberg's statement:

@GretaThunberg : "If they [the nuclear power plants] are already running, I think it would be a mistake to switch them off and turn to the coal."

Doesn't sound like she is endorsing nuclear power, just that she thinks nuclear is the lesser evil compared to coal.

Good for her!

Nuclear energy seems like a topic ripe for agreement between the left and the right. Let the anti-nuclear crowd self-marginalize, if it means that much to them.

[Mik]

Agreed.
