Financial Times Declares Nuclear Weapons 'ESG Compliant'
Mainstream finance, it seems, has found a way to sanitize the unspeakable. According to the Financial Times, the EU's embrace of 'nuclear power as sustainable' has morphed into an unspoken green light for funding the very weapons of mass destruction that threaten all environments, societies, and governance. This isn’t a new trick; the military-industrial complex has always been adept at rebranding
tools of war as tools of peace, stability, or now, 'sustainability.' A critical look reveals the absurdity: ESG was meant to guide investment toward responsible, ethical practices. Now, an industry whose sole purpose is rendering vast swathes of the planet uninhabitable, creating generations of trauma, and destabilizing international relations, gets to claim it's 'compliant.' It’s the ultimate
greenwashing, a corporate sleight of hand that makes even the most blood-soaked endeavors palatable to 'socially conscious' investors. How many megatons of 'sustainable' destruction does it take to finally question the definition?
