There is no simple solution.

We are all living on stored wealth in the form of fossil fuels. This has allowed us to overrun Planet Earth like vermin. Yes I am one of these vermin.


If all the current known fossil fuel reserves were burnt at the current increasing rates we would have a planet that was uninhabitable. We have about ten years before the tipping points of our climate occur.

Any form of nuclear fission power just puts this grim future back by about fifty years.

The long held promise of unlimited energy from fusion reactors is tainted by the fact that the reactor vessel made of exotic metals will become structurally unsafe due to the high neutron flux within about twenty years. These reactors are too dangerous to dismantle! The solution is to build another next door etc.

We have a nuclear reactor that will last for about another five billion years.

It is the Sun.

If we do not learn how to use renewable energy and limit our greed to this limited energy, we do not have a future as a species.

It is down to ALL of US!
