They can threaten all they want, it’s simply not possible. If it actually was possible, they’d have done that a long time ago.

You’re wrong.

Yes, it is.

It’s doesn’t even matter if they move away. The things we want to tax them on simply can’t just move away. Gary puts it best, as always.

Not sure what you’re trying to say, honestly. Democratic values == evil communism?

In my mind, the idea of left politics is to democratize society as much as possible. Any type of Authoritarianism goes against that, including the idea of a single party with a single leader. It’s anti-democratic, and therefore does not fit into the category of leftist politics, even if they call themselves left. No racist is gonna call himself racists. And fashists neither.

I was merely pointing out the fact that your no-effort comment above contributed absolutely nothing to the conversation.

That said, I’m not against nuclear power per se. However, given the fact that we need to cut down on CO2 asap, while at the same time there is a clear lack of available resources to build/research/develop every possible tech at the same time, I find it quite delusional to still push for nuclear when we can use those resources to expand on wind/solar even more aggressively.

In the case of France, the corporation running nuclear power is almost 70 BILLION Euros in debt, while expecting costs upward of additional 50 BILLION Euros for 6 more reactors…numbers that you know will skyrocket once construction begins. That nuclear plant that will be finished next year will produce the most expensive kwh in Frances history. Great outlook! Much convince.

Pretty much everything OP said is backed up by mountains of evidence, especially in the case of France. Looking it up is trivial. Without proving anything to the contrary, your own comment is lazy and useless to this conversation.

So if you’re Russian, sure, go for it!

What a very intelligent take.

False (and stupid) dichotomy.

For every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple, and wrong.
