Do you think it's possible to make quick and meaningful progress towards breaking our dependence on fossil fuels without embracing nuclear power and improving the technology?

not at the rate we consume it..
Anyone with half a brain knows that to step up to the level humans seek currently a better source of power must be found and fusion is the answer for many..So don't invest in windmills..Although alternative is good for off the grid applications...not at the rate we consume it..
I guess I made this thread because it seems that a lot on the left don't like nuclear, and I just don't see any way we make a dent in fossil fuel use without nuclear power. China is building hundreds and hundreds of nuclear power plants because they understand that at this point in time nuclear energy is necessary. I think the rest of the world should be doing the same.

Not as long as I have sunshine to grow weed..not at the rate we consume it..
Are you afraid we are going to run out?

I wonder if dead drug addicts can be turned into crude oil?
A plan on reliable energy cannot be had until such time as we get our grid overhauled and isolated from other networks, like the internet.
A plan should be developed to build, in each state, a series of small (1mW or less) power reactors that have reprocessing capabilities to reprocess fuel. Of course this plan will require a means to transport and eliminated the byproduct. Which is the real sticking point. I prefer to launch it into space and send it on a decaying orbit toward the sun which would eat up our waste very efficiently.
They make containers that can take being struck by a train at 60mph without breaking open. I'm pretty sure they can design a container that if needed, could withstand reentry temperatures.A plan on reliable energy cannot be had until such time as we get our grid overhauled and isolated from other networks, like the internet.

It'd really suck if a bunch of nuclear waste blew up in our atmosphere, but yeah, shooting it into space is one option. I've also read recently that it's possible to make reactors that recycle the waste.
No.Do you think it's possible to make quick and meaningful progress towards breaking our dependence on fossil fuels without embracing nuclear power and improving the technology?
IMO, we should be investing more in fusion power. No carbon emissions and minimal radioactivity.Do you think it's possible to make quick and meaningful progress towards breaking our dependence on fossil fuels without embracing nuclear power and improving the technology?
