I do agree. Nuclear is not a real option.
It is our only dependable option. Thank goodness the reactor is a gazillion
miles away. Burns its own waste. No disposal problem. What a design. As
long as we use increasingly more sunscreen, we'll be safe.
Seriously, the sun is the answer. Roofs are currently available with
built-in solar collectors. Energy-efficient appliances are for sale. The
technology is here. What is not yet here is sufficient profit nor
government resolve. Pain and attendant profit need to be higher.
