Sky News host Chris Smith says Swedish activist Greta Thunberg has joined her “Scandinavian greenie counterparts” to support the continued use of nuclear power in Germany.

“All of sudden, as power prices hurt all Europeans, and blackouts begin, Thunberg now wants Germany’s nuclear plants to keep pumping out the power,” Mr Smith said.

“The logical arguments on clean nuclear energy, especially cheaper modular reactors, have caused Greta to see the light, literally.

“If Greta can wake up, surely this mob can too.”
