My plan, from a European perspective, would be for the EU to build a couple hundred new nuclear plants in ten year. France built almost 60 reactors between the seventies and the eighties so I believe it’s certainly possible with more modern tech. So by 2030 the EU has tons of cheap energy.

Cheap energy makes the following possible:

- carbon capture for negative emissions

- desalination plants for drinking water from the sea during heat waves

- vertical farms so farming is decoupled from the weather

- electric planes, cars and boats

- production (and worldwide export) of green hydrogen for industrial use

- electrical heating instead of gas

Bonus:

- export of all the above technologies once EU mastered them

Ambitious? Very. Difficult? Yes. Doable? I think so. To me this sounds like a better solution than just trying to live like it’s 1940 again.
