If wind is the savior then let’s go all in. If it’s nuclear then let’s go all in. We don’t have the time for perfection or making everyone happy. I know it sucks but it’s either that or take another 10 years fighting it out.

With enough nuclear weapons, we would have less need for fossil fuels.

Nearly exactly as much as we faced before 1946, in fact.

A mere coincidence, I’m sure….
