    we have the 80% solution and it’s nuclear power, but whatever y’all keep wailing and gnashing teeth and denying the obvious. I’m just gonna keep on living I guess and hope my house survives the shitty weather.

      We have what, 10 years to try stop the planet to get over 1,5ºC? 20 over 2ºC?, that’s pretty much the time it takes to build a new nuclear power plant from 0.

      We are too late.

        The best time to plant a tree was 50 years ago, second best is today. It’s clearly not the only thing we should do but we’ll need a lot more power in the future if we’re to switch away from fossil fuels. Currently nuclear is a good option
