The legacy of fossil fuels is a real one, I totally agree. But to switch from fossil to nuclear JUST to reduce emissions is an absurdity. It is just swapping one poison for another.
Implementing "alternative" power sources will take no longer than nuclear. The technology is there. What isn't is the Corporate will as the vested interests of the status quo wants to keep their money stream running, & doesn't stand to make a buck NOW, or ever, by having these systems implemented. These vested interests have their spin machine in the ear of government to keep themselves rich. That is the way of capitalism.
It will take courage & balls to stand up to these powerful corporations for the interests of the planet & humanity. From people & government, & yes, from corporations too.
I'm not happy with fossil fuels. Nuclear is NOT an alternative.
