The anti-nuclear movement, and to a greater extent the shape it takes, in the West is mostly a direct result of Western media reporting on the Chernobyl disaster. It was an incredible media coup to have such a great example of the narrative they'd been trying to reinforce for decades that "everything socialism tries to do turns to garbage, unlike successful, clean, efficient American capitalism :smug:".

Of course the unintended consequence of this is that large numbers of people started to fear nuclear power everywhere, even if it wasn't built by socialists.

Germany's anti-nuclear popular movements predate Chernobyl, the short story is that the boomer hippie student movements in the 60s and 70s were much further removed from the civil rights and Vietnam war stuff that catalyzed american protests so it manifested as a general anti-Cold War (opposition to the US stationing nuclear missiles in their country, go figure) and environmentalism

there was a lot of energy in this already and they were protesting construction of new plants as early as 1973 - when Chernobyl happened, it basically proved all these people right, as far as the germans were concerned. I'm guessing there was quite a lot of old money invested into oil and coal pushing this sentiment as well but that's a lot harder to find sources for

quote:

The origins of the Energiewende are diverse, but one potent stimulus was West Germany’s powerful movements – known as the New Social Movements (NSM) – that gathered steam across the 1970s in the wake of the late 1960s’ student rebellion.  

The anti-nuclear energy campaign was the most important NSM for what years later would be called the Energiewende. The anti-nuke campaign came to life with a bang in 1973 in Germany’s southwestern-most corner in the wine-growing region near the Black Forest that abuts Switzerland and France. There, in the hamlet of Wyhl, the area’s wine farmers, joined by activists from the nearby university city of Freiburg, as well as concerned French and Swiss citizens, organized to stop the construction of a planned nuclear reactor. They first occupied the construction site and then – after police used excessive force to remove them, a spectacle watched on TV across the country – took the utility to court, where it eventually backed down.

Basically, anti-war protests began versus nuclear weapons over time we’re shifted over to nuclear power since it was a less strategic issue. Also, the German Green Party is a protest party sort of how the Lib-Dems are and are about as liberal.

Like this is a reference to a thing I've seen better explained elsewhere (sorry can't remember where) as fans posting ranking lists of celebrities and then getting extremely mad and terminally online about it and probably in a couple of cases leading to some real life violence. The specifics are hard to come by but it seems like the same social phenomena that brought you kpop stans and k-hive.

I think the anti-nuclear sentiment has more to do with the ever shifting "oh no THAT disaster doesn't count, and it's 100% impossible for that to ever happen again" attitude among nuclear advocates every loving time there is an accident.

No matter what happens it just proves that nuclear is better than ever! It's like talking to a Tesla fanboy, but even more stupid.

there’s two incidents at a power plant that could be qualified as a disaster the last 65 years, even broadly and generously defining “disaster” as “loss of human life due to plant operation and/or release of biologically significant radiation or irradiated materials outside of the plant.” one was Chernobyl and one was Tokiamura.

the only people who died at Fukushima either drowned or had a heart attack due to overwork

even if you want to include prototype reactors the loss of life is still in the teens outside of Chernobyl

compare this to around ~100k Americans who die every year due to fossil fuel power plant pollution (all air pollution causes are around 200k). this doesn’t count plant accidents or employee deaths cause those numbers are difficult to find

nuclear power is amazingly, unbelievably safer than anything but perhaps solar power

The actual statistical probability of losing your life in a nuclear disaster has absolutely no influence on peoples opinions about nuclear power.

You see the thing of it is that wind power will kill birds when they fly into thw windmill but with nuclear you have a different situation where the bird flies into the smoke stack and comes out resembling something like the dragons of yore. It's a complicated issue but we can't let these challenges deter us.

the reason we don't have nuclear power is because it requires direct government investment, control, and oversight and is mostly unprofitable for the private sector. public opinion about nuclear safety anything is irrelevant.

quote:

One such exception was last year, when the company told Iranian activists that it would allow people to call for the death of the country’s leader, Ali Khamenei. During a two-week period during anti-government protests there, users were allowed to post the words “Death to Khamenei” or feature videos of people saying or chanting this phrase.

The company has generally tried to avoid the appearance of taking sides in armed conflicts or differing sets of rules in different places. Creating specific new policies like on Thursday is extremely unusual, although it has chosen to do so several times during the recent conflict.

Last week, the company said it was changing its rule to allow people to praise a neo-Nazi battalion in Ukraine that was now part of the country’s attempt to repel the invasion.
