Take a fricken win, geez.
Yes. Thank you. I won't starve, only my kids will. Whew, dodged that one.
I've said it once and I'll repeat it until I'm dead.
The only good green energy is nuclear and Cherenkov radiation is blue. Give me blue energy. We've advanced to the point it's not only a good idea it might be the best one we have.
Third- and fourth-gen nuclear and renewables.
With the ewaste produced by solar and wind I don't even think those are the answer for long term. Better than coal and oil sure, but I'm fully behind fission and high key hoping for fusion.
Fair. Addressing e-waste is a major issue. I wish we could just attach full-lifecycle recycling costs to the product price.
Its not really a win until life is sustainable.
Genuinely asking, is complacency the right word in this context?
Complacency and some kind of emotionally-driven denial.
It always makes me think of dogs growling of you get close to their food bowls.
