    We absolutely have the technological ability to move on from all of this, we just have a government that isn’t interested in doing anything because investing in infrastructure doesn’t bring in campaign donations the same way extending the lifespan of existing nuclear and coal powered plants do.

    If we have nuclear winter, would anyone survive to have to sort other options?

      Beats me, I'm not a nuclear expert, I'm just a fan of moving to actual carbon neutral/negative generation (and, maybe, while we're at it, the disposession of capital, as a little treat 👉👈)

        I recall Yogthos having recently posted an article about it. If there are survivors, I may pity them more than the dead.
