Fuel crises in parts of the world have forced many who previously called for everything to be powered by rainbows, gumdrops & unicorns to come to grips with reality. For example, European Parliament has voted to consider nuclear power and gas to be “climate-friendly.”
Via Reuters:
The European Parliament on Wednesday backed EU rules labelling investments in gas and nuclear power plants as climate-friendly, throwing out an attempt to block the law that has exposed deep rifts between countries over how to fight climate change.
The vote paves the way for the European Union proposal to pass into law, unless 20 of the bloc’s 27 member states decide to oppose the move, which is seen as very unlikely.
The new rules will add gas and nuclear power plants to the EU “taxonomy” rulebook from 2023, enabling investors to label and market investments in them as green.
Uh oh, Greta Thunberg’s not going to be happy! Here’s what the climate activist tweeted yesterday:
Tomorrow the European Parliament will decide whether fossil gas and nuclear will be considered "sustainable" in the EU taxonomy. But no amount of lobbyism and greenwashing will ever make it "green".
We desperately need real renewable energy, not false solutions. #NotMyTaxonomy— Greta Thunberg (@GretaThunberg) July 5, 2022
Thunberg has been spotted giving away the game with that tweet:
This shows that she doesn't really care about global warming. She's like many in the Green movement… It's a religion, not science. https://t.co/wbI25bnZ9v

Religion — cult — whatever you want to call that particular movement, it’s clear that “solving climate change” isn’t the real agenda here.
She was never anything more than a shield for environmentalists to hide behind, and I feel bad for her.
Any pushback on her and you were fighting the “dreams and passion of a child just trying to do the right thing.”

What a surprise, another highly promoted greenie is putting nuclear in the same category as fossil fuels. The push her not because they care about reducing CO2 but because she promotes the agenda of control https://t.co/HPAUMiZmA7

It’s all about control. And money of course.
Claiming climate change is a global crisis that will kill all humanity, yet still not thinking it's dire enough to use clean, safe nuclear power. https://t.co/gmul3Wb7Ev pic.twitter.com/zDoM3r0yGR

Then again, many of these alarmists are the same ones who tell us the oceans are about to engulf the coasts and then drop millions on beachfront property.
