    The US could switch off their nuclear powerplants to accelerate the transition to hydrocarbons.

      Normally, I am very pro nuclear. The Trump Regime has proven itself to be utterly shit at wielding every form of power known to mankind, be it soft, wind, or kinetic. 😒

        They already know. Merkel saved their oil industry by making electricity for cars expensive.

          Yeah but what if Germany were to be hit by a 9.1 earthquake followed by a huge tsunami and have the disaster cause the need for emergency generators that were flooded by the tsunami? We can’t have that risk! Shutting down all nuclear reactors was the only option.

        Won’t make a dent either way. The entire climate situation basically depends on the death of capitalism, egotystical billionares taking fault(LMAO) and overhauling our entire way of life at this point.
