Why the human race will never solve the climate crisis.

42. Could you image if we had an Apollo-like program for Nuclear Power 2.0 starting in the mid-2000s?

One with modern design, much greater standardization for lower cost and improved safety, and regulatory approval processes commensurate with the risk of delay?

One that would have inspired young engineers, construction works, managers, et al?

One with a parallel Power Grid 2.0 with greater capacity for EVs, more electric heating, and for distributed wind/solar power sources?

One with a level of federal spending on the main project, plus billions for "supporting" (aka pork) projects, that could have gained bipartisan support, and would have been loved by Wall St?

One, which by year 2021, would be well on its way to eliminating all coal plants, and most natural gas plants, and at the same time further reducing energy imports?

Sadly, anti-science had the bigger voice.

I would like to think we could still do it, but I can't.
