It’s weird. In general, in the greentext community I just reply something stupid and move on. You guys are commenting what seems serious, at the same time there are a lot of people commenting about how we should have gone nuclear, etc. Now, I don’t know if you’re being serious or you are trolling as I would with a less apocalyptic topic.
Nuclear isn’t apocalyptic, if that’s what you’re saying. It’s caused far less harm than almost every other energy source (the only exception is large scale photovoltaic), including nuclear disasters, which we’ve learned a lot on how to prevent so will only become less common. They’re already extraordinarily uncommon. Storage is also a solved problem and just needs implemented, and is pretty minor as is.
The apocalyptic option is to let dirty energy win the battle. They’ve been pumping tons of money into anti-nuclear movements to convince people it’s dangerous. It isn’t though. That’s just what traditional energy companies want you to believe to protect their share of the market.

There, feels like I made it.

We should have gone nuclear, at least for the short term.
