Is there another way we can reliably meet current and future energy demands?

[–] Letstakealook@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Of course there is. As the planet becomes more inhospitable to human life, demand will go down, eventually reaching zero.

I'm a green gang member and think nuclear is the only way atm

It really is. It wouldnt take that long & would do a damned fine job of powering all kinds of stuff. Period.
