You are going to make membership decisions (for any organization) based on an HN comment with no sources? If so, can I get you to close your Ziggo account and cancel your NS subscription?



Not directly, but when someone like with the reputation Jacques mentions something that important then yeah, I'm going to investigate further (and cancel if it checks out).

Regards Greenpeace specifically: I was already on the edge because they've quite frankly become more part of the problem than part of the solution for their stance on existing nuclear energy production. It makes absolutely no sense to close any nuclear generators early when you're still burning coal / peat / ignite / biomass without carbon capture and storage.


It is more of a populist thing now which brings in donations hence their stance. In NL being against windmill parks was probably good for their funding even if it was bad for the longer term environment. People pay their contribution today, not in the future.
