That's a sad conspiracy theory you have there - it's a shame you have no facts.
Sadly... the label 'conspiracy theory' is ad hominem.

Facts change with time. Today the Green New Deal folks are talking about burning cities if B. Sanders loses the Primary. And Gulags for the voters who prefer the Republican candidate. Nothing to do with climate.

edit:
Today's episode (788) of Scott Adams he mentioned the Green Nuclear Deal. I didn't rewind, but DDG's newest News story is: edmontonjournal.com: David Staples: Man bites dog. Yes, Conservatives have now come up with boldest plan to fight climate change
Quote:
The most important development of 2019 that got the least amount of attention from the Canadian news media? The “man bites dog” story of Canadian conservative leaders coming up with the best, boldest and most visionary plan to combat climate change this country has ever seen.

The plan is pushed by a group of Canada’s most hard-headed and powerful conservative leaders, Premiers Scott Moe of Saskatchewan, Doug Ford of Ontario and Blaine Higgs of New Brunswick.

Their goal is to help wipe out carbon emissions without wiping out the Canadian economy.

Moe, Ford and Higgs made public Canada’s Green Nuclear deal on Dec. 1, announcing their three provinces had signed an agreement to work together to create the next wave of safe, reliable Canadian nuclear power plants, known as small modular reactors (SMRs).
........
Scheer’s stance made some amount of sense. We’re a small country with minuscule emissions. Even if we reduce them, it will make little difference. We can, however, make a huge difference by exporting carbon-busting Candu tech to huge emitters like China and India.

But what works in China and India will also work here to keep our own emissions low, just as Canada has done for decades now. In 2017, for example, nuclear energy supplied 50 per cent of Ontario’s electricity and 15 per cent of Canada’s electricity.
