re: #135 LudwigVanQuixote

Well we really do not have the time for that is the issue. We start hitting tipping points sooner rather than later.

I know, I know.

You must acknowledge that a “hot” planet in terms of radiation isn’t much better than a “hot” planet due to temperature. We have to be really careful.

I guess my objection to nuclear (which is, mind you, outweighed by my objections to fossil fuels) centers around humans not being even remotely responsible, on average, and the rather horrendous potential consequences of even a single mistake.

As I said, Nuclear is one of our better options from a practical perspective, but we still need to be agressively working on all angles. It isn’t a solution to the problem, imho, it’s replacing a problem with a lesser problem. Yes, that’s progress, but I cringe a little when I think about how it could go wrong.

That’s the world we live in. Bad choice, or worse choice?
