Wow, thanks for posting voltage, it's think its really valuable to be reminded there are such wildly different points of view on this. And actually it's our wildly different perspectives is what makes me a climate doomer.
Me and my group will never allow nuclear because we don't trust people to manage it properly.
You and your group will never reduce your energy usage and consumption of resources because that might be an erosion of your rights!
It's like with Covid, when people were asked to put on a mask to protect themselves and others, a lot of people said OK, and a lot of people made a big deal about it.
I think we should continue our transition to non polluting energy sources, but our democracy means no government is going to make deeply unpopular choices, so nothing will happen very quickly.
Climate change will happen.
- systemvoltage 3y ago> Me and my group will never allow nuclear because we don't trust people to manage it properly. Strange and contradictory. I thought people said the same thing about CDC, vaccines and the entire COVID fiasco. You didn’t have any issue with trusting the people to manage the pandemic properly then?
- jay_kyburz 3y agoI think people felt the CDC were being overly cautious at the expense of the economy. We are risk averse and care little for the economy, so while the CDC is thinking like us, we support them. Our fear with nuclear is that people will not be cautious enough and cut corners. (Or the risks are greater than people are willing to admit)
