San Francisco, Aug 27 : Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk on Saturday, slammed environmentalists as “anti-human” when it comes to the growth of nuclear power generation, which will be able to replace fossil fuels in the near future.In tweets, Musk said that the nations should increase the production of nuclear energy.
“It is absurd from a security perspective and harmful to the environment to close them down,” said Musk.
A Twitter user reacted to say that nuclear energy is clean efficient, efficient and could completely replace fossil fuels If it were accepted, but that it’s not happening “because the so-called environmentalists aren’t for clean energy, they’re anti-human”.
Musk wrote: “Some (environmentalists) are actually extremely anti-human”.
A green energy advocate, he has said time and time again that it’s wrong to denigrate nuclear energy, particularly when renewable sources of energy like batteries and solar are still accelerating.
In July of this year, he stated that “I’m actually pro-nuclear too”.
“I believe that nuclear power has a bad reputation.It’s not a good idea to shut down nuclear power stations in my opinion in the event that they’re in an area that’s susceptible to natural catastrophes.In that situation, that you shouldn’t be able to say”‘we’re just in the waiting room for the actual once in century event”,” he said during an interview on the “Getting Stoned podcast.
“Like similar to the Fukushima situation.You’re aware that there are lots of tsunamis and other disasters and it’s probably not a good idea to be in a nuclear area when natural disasters are occurring.However, in places like France or Germany and a lot of other parts of the US there’s no significant chance of natural disasters that could impact nuclear power stations.Therefore, we should not stop them in this scenario,” Musk had stressed.
According to him, attempts to stop nuclear power plants from being shut down are “crazy” and “madness.”
