If you're an environmentalist concerned about excessive CO2 in the atmosphere, then nuclear power should be a no-brainer. With its incredible energy

Unlike the waste of space that our windmills and the difficulties of solar at scale, nuclear is both comparatively clean and carries the necessary output

to sustain civilization. And yet, for some reason, these environmentalist types that endlessly warn us about the impending end of the world due to fossil

fuels do everything in their power to bury this energy alternative. Their most common rebuttal is that nuclear is scary. Look at what happened in

0:37

Chernobyl, for example. They of course ignore the advances in technology vastly increasing security since then. But even

0:44

44 seconds

if we were to assume that nuclear is as dangerous as a liberal says, it's still less dangerous than their claimed apocalypse. You know, the imminent

52 seconds

extinction level event that they've been warning us about for over half a century due to the abuse of fossil fuels is objectively worse than a blownup

reactor. Given that they are unable to convince the world to use less energy to make renewables viable, then nuclear isn't just an option, but their literal

1:08

salvation. And yet, contrary to all reason, they reject it. But why are they stupid? Or is there something more

1:15

1 minute, 15 seconds

nefarious going on? The purpose of this video won't be to convince you to support nuclear energy, but instead it's an attempt at discovering the true

1:23

underlying motives behind the environmentalist movement to explain this apparent contradiction. And if you enjoy it, consider subscribing. It helps

the channel. As a society, we have many initiatives, agencies, and movements rallied around various social issues.

1:37

1 minute, 37 seconds

These organizations ask for funding, and in return, they promise to help solve or alleviate the issues. But what would happen if the organization is successful and actually solves what it set out to?

1:46

1 minute, 46 seconds

It would stop existing. Social issues and the organizations fighting against them are symbiotic. If a social issue is

1:54

1 minute, 54 seconds

resolved, the organization has no point in further existence. Their funding stops. The bureaucrats, organizers, and managers all lose their positions. The

2:03

2 minutes, 3 seconds

same is true in politics. If a political party builds its whole identity around a single issue or a few issues, it may get a lot of support from frustrated voters.

2:11

2 minutes, 11 seconds

but will never actually bring about the change it promises because if it does, it will die. As a side note, this is why legitimate political parties and their supporters need a clear long-term ethos.

2:23

2 minutes, 23 seconds

Otherwise, incentives are misaligned. On the surface, environmentalism is the same. But before I get into that, a quick word from today's sponsor, Rumble

Chapter 4: The False Dichotomy

3:22

3 minutes, 22 seconds

The doomsday narrative that environmentalists have been building up since well before either I or most of my audience were born has dominated political circles for half a century.

3:32

3 minutes, 32 seconds

After all, if the world is really ending, all the power and funding going towards the organizations that will save us is justified. And what makes climate

3:40

3 minutes, 40 seconds

alarmism so perfect for the forever problem phenomenon I described earlier is that the solution they are demanding is designed to be impossible. They are

3:48

3 minutes, 48 seconds

asking the entire world to voluntarily abandon fossil fuels and embrace underperforming renewables. This isn't a

3:56

3 minutes, 56 seconds

solution. It's a daydream. The world's need for energy is in far excess of what renewables have proven themselves to be capable of. Even when a nation makes the

4:05

4 minutes, 5 seconds

absurd decision to follow that plan, their energy grid fails and they are forced to return to fossil fuels, restarting the debate all over again.

4:13

4 minutes, 13 seconds

The current hikes in energy prices and decreased reliability in places that adopted renewables as well as the subsequent public outrage demanding a

4:21

4 minutes, 21 seconds

return to fossil fuels serves as proof of this perpetuating an endless cycle.

4:26

4 minutes, 26 seconds

So as long as the dichotomy between fossil fuels and renewables keeps up, the climate alarmists and their institutions will have their forever problem and as a result infinite funding

4:35

4 minutes, 35 seconds

and power. The only threat would be a cleaner alternate power source that could rival fossil fuels and render the social struggle pointless. The irony is

4:44

4 minutes, 44 seconds

that alternative power source nuclear is actually older than climate alarmism and just need the time to advance safety. An

4:51

4 minutes, 51 seconds

advance it has posing a serious risk not only to career politicians and bureaucrats but also strangely another

4:58

4 minutes, 58 seconds

party I haven't mentioned yet. Given that there are organizations whose entire purpose is try to stop the use of fossil fuels, you would think they'd be

Chapter 5: Big Oil x Anti-Oil

5:06

5 minutes, 6 seconds

on bad terms with the actual fossil fuel industry. But oddly, no. In fact, not only do they not behave as enemies,

5:14

5 minutes, 14 seconds

prominent anti- fossil fuel movements are directly funded or led by people connected to the fossil fuel industry.

5:21

5 minutes, 21 seconds

One of the most glaring examples of this is the literal oil ais Alen Getty who leads the climate emergency fund

5:28

5 minutes, 28 seconds

supporting organizations like just stop oil and extinction rebellion. But it doesn't stop there. Other oil families like the Rockefellers also fund anti-

5:37

5 minutes, 37 seconds

fossil fuel movements. However, these examples can be explained away. These people are oil heirs, not oil tycoons.

5:45

5 minutes, 45 seconds

They got their money for inheritance, not working or investing in the industry. So having a change of heart is possible. What is far less easy to

5:52

5 minutes, 52 seconds

explain away though is the financial sector. Quadratcher Capital invests hundreds of millions of dollars into fossil fuels across 45 companies only to

6:02

6 minutes, 2 seconds

then invest a couple million into Quadratcher Climate Foundation, funding some of the most prominent anti- fossil fuels think tanks and advocacy networks.

6:10

6 minutes, 10 seconds

Their grantees included Carbon Tracker and the European Climate Foundation. If this was a one-off thing, then fine. But

6:17

6 minutes, 17 seconds

Quadriure is far from the only one, as you're seeing on screen. There's no way around this. Big oil literally funds the

6:25

6 minutes, 25 seconds

anti- fossil fuel movements. And in fact, they fund the left in general. But why? It's a two birds of one stone

Chapter 6: Incentives

6:32

6 minutes, 32 seconds

situation. The first reason is regulation. People have a misconception that government regulation is bad for a corporation's profits. It can be, but

6:41

6 minutes, 41 seconds

not always. Some corporations benefit from suffocating regulations in their industry because it kills competitors.

6:48

6 minutes, 48 seconds

Why do you think Amazon was advocating for a higher minimum wage just as they were replacing many of their workers with robots? Why do you think AI

6:55

6 minutes, 55 seconds

companies leading the advances in AI won't stop telling others they need to stop advancing AI or there will be an extinction event? More regulation often

7:04

7 minutes, 4 seconds

means higher cost of entry and maintenance, meaning less competition.

7:08

7 minutes, 8 seconds

This is basic economics. Another possible reason is to control the narrative. Put simply, if you're the ones funding the advocacy against you,

Chapter 7: Conclusion

7:17

7 minutes, 17 seconds

you control the discussion. But even more importantly, you control how loud that discussion is. You could hypothetically make the discussion so

7:26

7 minutes, 26 seconds

loud, make people so polarized that it drowns out all surrounding topics.

7:31

7 minutes, 31 seconds

Everyone is either pro- oil or anti- oil, climate alarmist or climate denier.

7:36

7 minutes, 36 seconds

And therefore, they'll be so focused on that debate that they'll be less likely to bring up adjacent topics that you would rather keep quiet, like nuclear,

7:45

7 minutes, 45 seconds

an alternative energy source that could actually out compete you and threaten your profits. We can't have that. So instead, endlessly demand support and subsidize these useless renewables.

7:54

7 minutes, 54 seconds

Since they're a false solution, they'll never be able to honestly compete with fossil fuels so long as the laws of physics remain unchanged. The discussion will never end, and your position will remain unchallenged.
