Comment on Bill Gates-backed nuclear contender Terra Power aims to build dozens of UK reactors
p1mrx@sh.itjust.works 10 months agoThe world would be a bit better if everyone flew coach or stayed home, but it would be a lot better if the developing world had access to lighting, air conditioning, washing machines, and transportation without a corresponding increase in carbon emissions.
Renewables (with storage and long-distance transmission) are part of the solution, but we need to invest in all viable forms of carbon-free energy like there’s no tomorrow, because if we don’t, then for a lot of people there won’t be.

The world can’t be better if the plan is to make things worst (planned obsolescence). Feeding these who got us there is not a solution to the problem

I definitely agree with you on how planned obsolescence and consumerism is a huge issue. But we still need energy from something and this sounds like a great start.
I’m all about the three R’s. Especially prioritizing the order they are in.
REDUCE and REUSE first, recycle only if needed.
