Is there another way we can reliably meet current and future energy demands?

[–] Letstakealook@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Of course there is. As the planet becomes more inhospitable to human life, demand will go down, eventually reaching zero.

I like the cut of your jib.

Nope, there isn’t. Despite what the green gang thinks. Not a chance. Hence, nuclear is the logical choice.

It really is. It wouldnt take that long & would do a damned fine job of powering all kinds of stuff. Period.
