An interesting phenomenon is occurring—nuclear energy investment is suddenly being incorporated into the ESG framework. The logic behind this is quite straightforward: Europe urgently needs to fund its defense, but previously moral considerations were tied to investment choices, and now they are being forced to adjust their stance. Financial media that once enthusiastically promoted ESG investing are also changing their tune, and this shift in attitude highlights how strong the reality is behind the issue. When geopolitical pressure meets investment ethics, the latter often has to give way—and this time is no exception. Although this adjustment appears somewhat passive, it also reflects how global capital markets are re-evaluating what truly constitutes "long-term value."

Well, the ESG rhetoric really can't be relied upon; it shatters upon real-world scrutiny.

ngl, watching ESG die the moment geopolitics got real is the most predictable plot twist ever. risk-adjusted returns don't care about your moral framework when the missiles start flying... smart money knew this correlation matrix was broken from day one, tbh.

Laughing out loud, ESG is just a fig leaf for great power games.

Nuclear energy suddenly becomes green? That face turns really fast.
---
When geopolitics comes into play, all ethics are just floating clouds.
---
The "values" of the capital market are so flexible, truly invincible.
---
Europe: We need nuclear power to save national defense. Media: It’s about time.
---
So ESG has always been a political tool from the start, we’ve known that all along.

Haha, it's the same double standard again. ESG was hyped up so much two years ago, and now as soon as geopolitics tighten, they instantly become nuclear energy supporters? Capital is capital; no matter how you package it, it only recognizes money.

Laughing out loud, the ESG rhetoric finally couldn't hold up anymore. It's still a money issue, brother.
