There can't be an honest discussion about climate change that doesn't start with nuclear power.
The non-western world deserves to get to live as well as it possibly can. And telling poor African countries that if they build another coal plant they put their world loans in jeopardy is criminal. Subsidizing a few solar or wind plants doesn't even begin to impact electrical needs across the poorer parts of the world. Yet we'd rather people died today by the millions from preventable higher mortality rates due to poverty, than allow the developing world unfettered access to coal.
There's a reason many Asian countries have told the rest of the world off and started building nuclear plants as fast as they can.
