@sanjikaneki6226 China is leading development of green technology and planting huge forests to help. Meanwhile, a huge portion of their CO2 production is to produce cheap, disposable consumer goods for the US. I think China is awful. I want to be better than China, but we're not, so we need to spend less time finger pointing and more time getting our own house in order.

@9876karthi it is, but it still may not be good enough. The boomers voting for Biden in the primary may just have lit the futures of the younger generations (which they already spend decades destroying) on fire.

@shadowcrux0 even setting the danger aside, it will never get cheap enough for lifting nuclear waste out of the gravety well and chucking it into deep space. The laws of physics won't allow it. Whoever you're getting that idea from doesn't understand the physics of what they're talking about at all.

I'm out here on team "whatever we have time left to build" which thanks to sitting on our hands for decades, nuclear no longer has much (if any) place in. I used to be pro nuclear, but expediency is the name of the game right now.

Metaphoically speaking, we've spent something like 50 years cutting down a small forest of those trees to build shoody gazebos with "no kids allowed" signs on them. We would have never gotten to this point without the unprecedented ageism of the boomer generation.

@ferguswatt2884 no, proof of concept was demonstrated in the 50s. Long term practical engineering needed for full deployment has not been entirely worked out.
