Some environmentalists are sadly anti-human: Elon Musk #IndiaNEWS #News
San Francisco: Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk on Saturday slammed some environmentalists for being anti-human when it comes to increasing nuclear power generation that could replace fossil fuels in the future.
In a tweet, Musk said that the countries should be increasing nuclear power generation.
It is insane from a national security standpoint and bad for the environment to shut them down, said Musk.
A Twitter follower replied, saying that nuclear is clean, efficient and could replace fossil fuels entirely if it was embraced but is not happening because so-called environmentalists arent pro clean energy, they are anti-human.
Musk posted: Some (environmentalists) are indeed sadly anti-human.
A clean energy advocate, he has said time and again that its a mistake to stigmatise nuclear energy, especially as renewables like solar and batteries are still ramping up.
In July this year, he said that Im actually pro-nuclear as well.
I think nuclear has a bad rap. People shouldnt be shutting down nuclear power stations, in my view, unless theyre in a location thats prone to natural disasters. In which case, you know you cant just be like, were just waiting for the real but once in a century situation, he said during an interview on the Getting Stoned podcast.
Like the Fukushima situation. Well, you know theres a lot of tsunamis and stuff, so its probably not great to have nuclear power where theres natural disasters. But for example, in places like France or Germany and many parts of the US, theres really no meaningful risk of a natural disaster that could affect nuclear power plants. So we shouldnt shut them down in that case, Musk had stressed.
According to him, efforts to shut down nuclear power plants are crazy and madness.
