I am interested in hearing your opinions about nuclear power, what you know, if you have any fears, or ideas? Do you know if your country has any nuclear power generation?

Solar cells are getting cheaper anyway, there’s no stopping that. And the oncoming oil shortages are going to make the oil lobby look like a joke.
The oil lobby is not a joke. Underestimating them has been one of environmentalists’ biggest mistakes, ever.
…And the oil shortage will make them fabulously rich.
Doubt
And yet here we are, with the far right absolutely exploding in Europe as people clamor for more drilling, and climate change and renewables branded “woke” in the US, and much of the world increasing emissions still.
Guess who the groups stoking this are getting funding from?
As another example, my (scientifically minded) Dad showed me a WSJ article, just the other day, on how geoengineering makes any “risk” of climate change a non issue. The whole argument was that the economically optimal path forward was doubling down on petro.
Also, solar cells are cheap, but if we put fusion’s funding into them and geothermal, I think they’d be dramatically cheaper and more available by now.
Technology really doesn’t work like that, putting more money into something doesn’t make something available sooner. The hope of fusion should not delay solutions now. Solar is good and growing rapidly.
