Currently, we're mostly consuming oil and coal. The equation there isn't _whether_ it'll wipe out a significant amount of live-able land, but rather a guarantee

Currently, we're mostly consuming oil and coal. The equation there isn't _whether_ it'll wipe out a significant amount of live-able land, but rather a guarantee that it will.
Nuclear Reactors destroy the environment when they fail, oil and coal destroys it when it works.
Nothing is w/o a footprint. Solar and wind requires batteries which require rare earth metals which cause environmental and social inequalities.
Right now, however, the focus needs to be on decommissioning coal and oil as fast as we can, and nuclear has an important role to play in that.
