I see both points of view. In capitalism, it is government's job to compensate for negative externalities. Government restricted common people from making voluntary contracts with antibiotic manufacturers because of antibiotic resistan

Because biological slip rings don't scale, not because it wouldn't be more efficient on an energy standpoint.

First, you can trivially store years of nuclear fuel, which you can't with fossil fuels. Maybe this is already complete, but at one point of lot of it was from decommissioning nuclear weapons, so it wasn't "we need them for f

"safe" is a spectrum. While coal is allowed to kill millions of people a year, the safety level of nuclear in the US was raised to "no matter whatever happens no one ever anywhere must have harm come to them" and that&#x

If they let me buy the heat for cheap, yes in my backyard. Well, not literally in my back yard, but only because there's a great space several blocks over where there's already lots of freeway noise, so any process noise will be o

The question is whether you use solar PV or build more coal plants to supply them. The latter makes people sicker, but more dependent on the government, so you can guess which one gets the tax breaks and which one gets tariffs and internati
