“Spencer’s site is a fantastic reference source. Thank you.”
You are more than welcome! I wish more people would make an effort to grasp the science. Blanket denial based on nothing is just ignorance.
My main point is that there are solutions that don’t involve a reduced standard of living - I’m absolutely opposed to the wrongheaded idea that we must “sacrifice” in the name of global warming!
Nuclear power is a win/win proposition!
I'd like to hear one.
The problem is extremism, while it wouldn’t hurt any of us to be more practical, completely going Neolithic is extreme and silly, especially based on a false science and narrative. As a practical person myself I do recognize extremism the other way also, how much stuff and toys does it take to make a person “comfortable”? We don’t have a population problem, we have a “stuff” problem.
But being practical minded I also think that if done right Nuclear power could be very practical. The problem is we keep trying to put all of our eggs in one basket with this technology. Rather than one huge plant that cannot be controlled if there is an issue we need to build numerous smaller plants, each small enough to control if there is an issue.
A small unit the size being used in a modern naval vessel can produce enough to power a city the size of Chicago yet is small enough to be controlled if something happens. And I think we need to seriously invest in more work with cold fusion as a priority.
