Ah, linear extrapolationists are again at their game.
The world doesn't need 100% renewable energy, and does not need to build enormous power storage farms to deal with unstable power supply from solar and wind. The correct answer is nuclear power, and the sooner people will stop having NDS (Nuclear Derangement Syndrome), the better for humanity.
- cameronh90 4y agoHow do we deal with the security issues of nuclear, though? Look at the situation in Ukraine with Russia actively threatening the stability of their nuclear power plant as a bargaining chip. Attacks on nuclear facilities during war are quite common, even the US has done it a few times. Also, unstable countries need energy too - would it really be a good idea to start building nuclear power plants in Syria or Somalia? Perhaps we need an international UN agency in charge of all nuclear reactors in the world, with every country signing a defence pact? To be clear, I do want nuclear power, I just don't feel like society is stable enough to deliver it.
