We don’t need to invest a shit ton of money to stop climate change. We just need to decide to do it. There are cost-effective ways to do it. What we’ve been lacking is the consensus to do it.
- jupp0r 2y agoWe need to invest a lot of money to stop climate change. Renewable energy projects are very capital intensive compared to fossil fuel equivalents.
- permo-w 2y agothe simplest way to stop climate change would be a massive transition to nuclear power, ideally fusion, but until the technology is there for fusion, fission. nuclear power, great though it is, costs money, huge amounts of money
- evolve2k 2y agoThis is now a falacy. We’ve burnt through the time we had to do this. Nuclear solutions now cost much more comparatively. Solar won and it’s the storage of cheaply generated power than now needs maximum investment and support. Nuclear continues to be discussed mainly because it reverses the decentralisation of energy reliance that’s occurring as solar spreads.

- tirant 2y agoFirst we just need to decide if it’s worth it, or how much is worth it. The costs of remaining at +2C are several orders of magnitude higher than going back to +1C. And in all cases the most impacted ones due to climate change effects or climate change fight expenses are the ones at the bottom.
