Remember how I always say computer models can be made to show exactly whatever you want?
Starts at 1:50
Oh no, they would never do that with global warming.

I think this stupid meme sums it up. They are going to make climate change important again as people stop caring about fauci virus plandemic. And the people will say, what happened to climate change for the last 2 years.

Back in the 1970s two popular bumper stickers were " Stumps Don't Lie' and ' Big Trees Make Rain'. Comes now today's S0 where we find:
engineering.princeton.edu: Planting forests may cool the planet more than thought )By Liana Wait for the High Meadows Environmental Institute -- August 9, 2021)
Quote:
Princeton University researchers found that greater formation of clouds over forested areas suggests that reforestation would likely be more effective at cooling Earth’s atmosphere than previously thought. The findings address a concern among scientists that because forests absorb solar radiation, reforesting temperate latitudes could in fact make the planet warmer.

Episode 1476 Scott Adams: I Tell You How to Fix Our Biggest Problems While Drinking Coffee at 10:28 to 13:21:

He says right out loud that nuclear is the solution and the 'Green People' have brought us to this state.

Nuclear is the clear answer since we already have all the fuel we will ever need already sitting above ground in casks, build a reactor to put it in a reactor, and just add heavy water.

If only it were that easy...
Evidently it’s not....
SOUTH CAROLINA SPENT $9 BILLION TO DIG A HOLE IN THE GROUND AND THEN FILL IT BACK IN
https://theintercept.com/2019/02/06/...uclear-energy/
We’re still paying for that boondoggle... 😕
Irrespective of that.
As you stated. Nuclear is the answer.

While I tend towards nuclear fandom, complex problems usually have complex solutions. I suspect nuclear plays a big role in our energy future, but I'm not certain of the extent of that role.
That said, it should be "decriminalized" as Alex Epstein puts it. Cut out the unnecessary and disproportionately abundant red tape is what is meant. The US should be pioneering technology and selling what we learn to other countries, not the other way around.

That would ruin a molten salt reactor.

Have to remember everyone who built the last generation of nuclear power plants like my grandfather are all dead or not far from it.
They like to say nuclear takes to long to build and costs too much, well so does solar and that hasn't stopped anyone from building a solar farm.
Alternatives are not cheaper. In new mexico after years of building out mostly wind power now the public regulators are trying to raise rates 14.4%.
Oh and just look at California and their push for renewables, need I say more?
