We know that some here, not being very educated about such things, scoff at the idea that Solar could indeed save us from near certain doom and damnation.

But using the sun and some technology as a failsafe seems to me to be the most certain thing in an otherwise uncertain world.

Not only that, it is a damn good smack in the face to the nukers who deserve to be smacked thanks to their Fukushimas and Chernobyls ruining the world for all life.
