Greta is against low emissions energy

Anyone who really thinks climate change is an existential threat would not be against nuclear power.

Here is the mean life cycle tonnes of CO2 per GWh:

  1. Lignite 1,054
  2. Coal 888
  3. Oil 733
  4. Natural Gas 499
  5. Solar 85
  6. Biomass 45
  7. Nuclear 29
  8. Hydro 26
  9. Wind 26

Hydro and wind are great but they are weather dependent. Nuclear is almost as low emissions as them, and is not weather dependent.
