Your frequent reminder that the world could have defeated climate change in the 1980s if all industrialized nations had followed France's lead.
This would have been vastly cheaper than what nations are now pledging to spend in order to combat climate change. Most importantly, it would have been a solution compatible with further growth. But environmentalists sabotaged this technological solution.
And the same people who now claim that we face an extinction event and that we need to dismantle capitalism are still against nuclear.
They claim it is too expensive (more expensive than dismantling capitalism?). They claim it is too dangerous (more dangerous than global extinction?). And they claim that it takes too long (France showed that it can be done quickly.).
Some additional notes:
1. Nuclear waste isn't a problem.
2. Nuclear fuel isn't limited.
3. Nuclear power is safe: "440 reactors producing electricity in their fourth to sixth decade of service...100s more power ships & submarines...just 3 accidents..." democracyjournal.org
4. Nuclear power is expensive because of overregulation. rootsofprogress.org
