I have trouble believing this when nuclear exists and isn't anywhere close to utilized. Sure, the political will to build nuclear doesn't exist currently, but give everyone a taste of the sort of energy crunch you're describing and I bet it'll manifest pretty quick.
- spurgu 5y agoNuclear will be a part of the (attempted) solution for sure. The problem with nuclear is that it takes many years and billions to build. The US alone would need somewhere around 500 new reactors to replace fossil fuels, not to mention the rest of the world. Who will build these reactors and pay for them and how long do you think this would take? Even in the most optimistic scenarios we'd be talking many many decades (if we somehow managed to pay for them).
