This is it—plain & simple. No more fossil fuel infrastructure & it’s time to earnestly transition away from fossil fuel equipment & heating. Electrify your heating & cooling. It’s cheaper & more efficient. Switch to EVs. There are lots more than Tesla.
@MarkRuffalo We're gonna want nuclear plants, though. Can't avoid that anymore. Need those until we have viable fusion within 30-50 years.
@jperlow @MarkRuffalo Yup, if you're not in favor of #nuclear power, which is safe and zero emission, you're not serious about #climatechange. 💚🌎
@JimMaruschak @jperlow @MarkRuffalo
That's just nonsense....
@lednabm @jperlow @MarkRuffalo In what way is that nonsense? Nuclear power is safer than wind and hydroelectric. It produces zero carbon dioxide.
And the technology is already there and nuclear can be scaled up faster than renewables.
@JimMaruschak @lednabm @jperlow @MarkRuffalo
And yet in real life every actual nuclear project (yes, they are being built, not just in your imaginary world) tells a completely different story:
@JimMaruschak @lednabm @jperlow @MarkRuffalo
Yeah, fascinating made-up objection that has nothing to do with the actual economics in countries that have actually tried investing in nuclear.
@pieist@qoto.org @lednabm @jperlow @MarkRuffalo Yeah, Harry Reid was "made up".
@pieist @lednabm @jperlow @MarkRuffalo Luddite politicians have made it tough to do economically.
