Greens See Red - In

Greens See Red - In another example of how the Green Party is beating itself into irrelevance everywhere but Minneapolis, the Finnish government has opted to open a new nuclear power plant. Some of you who are my age may recall nuclear power - clean, safe, relatively cheap...

The Greens in Finland left the government in a huff (it's a parliamentary thing) over the power plant. A majority of Finns seem to have said "dooon't leet the dooor hiiiit yyyyou on the buuut on the wayyy ouuut".

So the choice the Greens had was: Cheap power that doesn't have to be imported, to support the economic growth that is needed to create jobs (especially with a small and soon-to-be shrinking population), or: keep importing oil, while waiting for the vague promise of alternative energy, maybe, to become economically useful.

The Greens throughout Europe are imploding, bit by bit, as they encounter the real world.
