    It’s not that it was premature to ban nuclear: it’s that the failure to heavily invest in nuclear over the last several decades was by far the biggest failure in climate policy, and nothing else comes close.https://twitter.com/s8mb/status/1149634181019791361 …

    This article on Germany's dependence on brown coal really makes me think it was premature to ban nuclear. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/stories-48931062 …

        Nuclear + batteries is the only route to zero emissions that retains current standards of living for developed countries and gives a route to developing countries to themselves improve their standard of living, making it politically and morally viable.

        I wouldn’t forget to mention that we need to deploy carbon sequestration at scale at this point, which we need to develop and roll out globally... Any interest in doing a pro-nuclear article? Given your audience and reader base, you can probably get a lot of awareness out there!

        You mean trees? Yes, we should plant more trees. Have you seen the reports of our 30 year greening trend?

        That and a chronic inability (or unwillingness) to understand the concept of trade-offs.

        Compare how many people have died because of nuclear to smog, much less global warming

        That’s also a global failure of education. And a failure to update our culture in tact with the knowledge of humanity.

        I'm more and more convinced that 70s & 80s environmentalists and peaceniks doomed us all.
