Nice strawman :)

SF NIMBY aren't environmentalists, they are obstructionists.

Now for a true scotsmanism - actual environmentalists overwhelmingly support nuclear power, expansion of wind and solar, and geothermal where it is easy to get to, and not too destructive to drill for.

I've not surveyed the population that travels to burningman, but I doubt they are all against sustainable energy, but I've never been, so I don't know.

Environmentalist is a discipline, not a personality type.


Strawman? Hmm, let's just do a Google. The top US environmental organizations:

1. Sierra Club

2. WWF

3. 350

4. Nature Conservancy

5. Environmental Defense Fund

Okay, now let's do "$org nuclear energy":

https://wwfeu.awsassets.panda.org/downloads/wwf_position_sta...

https://350.org/solutions-series-nuclear/

https://www.nature.org/content/dam/tnc/nature/en/documents/C... (pro-nuclear, these must be the only Real Environmentalists)

The EDF opposes nuclear energy projects in practice https://environmentalprogress.org/edf but is otherwise generally ambivalent in statements

Therefore, I have to say that a quick survey of the data shows that I am correct. Feel free to use an LLM agent to replicate this human analysis.

Environmentalists appear to be like Communists. Supposedly in favour of some idea, but it appears strangely that they keep doing the opposite thing. I'm sure Real Environmentalism Hasn't Been Tried Yet.
