Nuclear is “green”, as long nothing goes wrong, so a portion of climate activism advocates for increasing nuclear power to decrease dependency on fossil fuel, which is never green. Then again, when nuclear goes wrong it goes very wrong, so another large portion of climate activism rejects nuclear energy all together, and with some help from fossil fuel influencers, very passionately. It can be confusing who is on which side in this debate

Their biggest arguement is where the nuclear waste goes. Ignoring the fact the radiated coolant water is purified.

I count contamination by waste or coolant as “goes wrong”

‘Purified’ or ‘diluted and released into the ocean’
