This is a fascinating comment in the Economist. It seems obviously wrong, and (they claim) an opinion held by an entire profession. A carbon tax seems like a very good way of partially solving the problem...pic.twitter.com/41WyHKuIjZ

(2) How to do governance for geoengineering? It seems super-hard, e.g., issues around the south asian monsoon, ocean acidification, etc. Not asking for a comprehensive answer - I don't think one is known! But if you have heard of good ideas, I'd love to know!
most geoengineering project face the same hurdle from environmentalists as nuclear - we're not allowed to alter the natural world in any significant way. i even saw journos going after benioff for planting too many trees this week. so no idea really. just ignore them?
do you have the US numbers? my sense is things stagnated earlier here, resultant of general cold war nuclear fears and an aversion to technology that alters the natural world inherent of environmentalists. both views dominate hollywood, so imo the problem is mostly propaganda.
No, I don't have US numbers. The fact Three Mile Island occurred in the US would certainly make it likely it stagnated first here. At present, the growth rates of other renewables (~15% per year) and plummeting costs (& of batteries) make me believe they're likely to win.
I would say it’s mostly regulation and red tape.
Chernobyl plus end of Cold War seem to have had a combined effect. In Europe, a lot of the Green/CND/environmental protest energy that had been aimed at nuclear missiles (Pershing II & cruise missile deployment protests, etc), swiveled immediately to civilian nuclear reactors.
Plus, civilian nuclear power and nuclear fuel production was intricately linked to the military’s need for nuclear materials, in both NATO and Warsaw Pact countries, plus their client states. So shrinkage of military demand, and interest, post 1979, shrank the whole sector.
If you get an answer here that goes any deeper than “3 Mile Island / Chernobyl” please let us know.
Glad you asked. I read almost all of @ShellenbergerMD 's forbes articles and learned a lot about the anti-nuclear lobby in USA around that time period, and also how other countries do it.https://www.forbes.com/sites/michaelshellenberger/#1bd51ecb1b8a …
