To be fair we still might have a crisis, but far less of one and far more easily addressed. With nuclear as the base of the power grid we’d just have to electrify cars and we’d be most of the way there. The real catastrophe was that coal and not nuclear powered the ascent of Asia. If we hadn’t frozen nuclear power in the 70s it’s possible that there would have been a mature modular nuclear industry whose technology China and other Asian countries could have bought or copied instead of doubling global emissions in 15 years by massively scaling out coal.

It’s a global problem and virtually everyone has participated in creating it.)
