Because the only possible avenue: Nuclear power, is blocked by environmentalists. The irony of that is not lost on me, but I suspect it is lost on them.

- alexgmcm 8y agoI agree that we should investigate nuclear power, especially fusion as it offers an order of magnitude more energy (I remember when Greenpeace denounced ITER, I guess because it used to have Thermonuclear in the name..) But honestly, I don't think the environmental movement has that much power to block the research. I suspect it's just that while people like the idea of scientific and technological progress, they don't like having to pay for it.
