Adolescence has been extended in the first world to the ages of 25-30, and beyond, so it follows we are seeing a greater number caught up in the "Messianic Complex" stage of development, and many who are just stuck there. Where's Piaget when you need him?

@davidmiles-hanschell No one said climate change is not real. JBP recommended the approach of Bjorn Lomborg, please check him and the Copenhagen Consensus out. Real work is being done, you could be a part of meaningful action, which will give meaning to your life.

Molten Salt Reactors, walk-away-safe, no water cooling needed, lower-cost modular construction, well-suited for energy poor countries, a positive answer.

@kenthhamner2641 Really, both Canada and China invested, and China is about to test theirs. "For the first time since 1969 the world will see a thorium-powered nuclear reactor tested this September, when the system, built at Wuwei in northern China, is ready. The new molten-salt technology will be "safer" and "greener" than regular uranium reactors, and so could help to meet China's climate goals. Sep 23, 2021"

@DW_Kiwi At the end of August, the construction of its first thorium-fuelled molten-salt nuclear reactor was completed, with plans to begin the first tests of this alternative technology to current nuclear reactors within the next two weeks, according to a statement from the Gansu provincial government. China's molten-salt reactor program was first launched in 2011, investing some three billion RMB (about 500 million USD ). Thorium is a metallic element with radioactive properties, close to uranium on the periodic table, which was considered as an alternative fuel source.
