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

more important question is why are we talking to economists rather than nuclear scientists and geoengineers?
Curious on two questions: (1) Why do you think nuclear has stagnated so much since the early 80s (when capacity pretty much maxed out)? What can be done to shift that? [I'd love a good answer! I've spent a lot of time searching for one.]pic.twitter.com/pomMuNCnvl
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.
in terms of persuasion, i just think the technology needs to be championed publicly by a politician so we can have a national conversation and demystify this stuff. also would be cool to see some movies where nuclear didn't kill everyone.
I'd like to understand the politics and marketing of how it ended up working reasonably well in (parts of) Canada, France, & Sweden.
Germany has demonstrated that this can all change pretty quickly - nuclear needs strong advocates and good story telling, bc as we’ve seen the pop-culture power of Chernobyl + others is pretty persuasive
increasingly looking bad for france as wellhttps://www.ft.com/content/c7421fbe-f326-11e8-9623-d7f9881e729f …
