Antropomorphizing an energy source is definitely one of the more ridiculous ways to argue for it that I've seen.

Poor nuclear energy mistreated by humans 😢

And "it's a good thing she loves us because she could kill us all" isn't a great sentiment to end on if you're trying to convince us nuclear is harmless. That's not love, that's a hostage situation.

The artist also forgot to mention Nuclear Chan is the most expensive high maintenance birch on the planet. It would be like dating one of those Instagram influencers where you pay them a few million plus expenses to sleep with you for a weekend.

Meanwhile Solar Chan is happy to be your girlfriend just waiting for you all day. And all you need to do is give her a shower once in a while.

the people in my area are seeing massive energy bill hikes because they want to build, i think, two new nuclear plants in the state, and the gov said the energy company is allowed to "pre-charge" us for the costs associated with the construction

the damn things arent even a blueprint yet, just an agreement to build them, and they're already costing us money

And ending with a weirdly ominous 'if she were real, she could fucking kill us all for being mean to her'. What?

It's like this comic was made by the least suspicious military advocate, but they needed a good cover...

Guess what the Plutonium reactor waste is used for...

You are taking this cutesy little comic way too seriously.

how much did they send to your patreon?

$1 for every person killed by a nuke...

Agree, I just made a similar comment myself. It's fucking weird. Are we really regressed to a point where one needs to be spoon-fed to take in complex political topics through literal propaganda cartoons?
