We kinda do. We just have an irrational fear of it.

The fact that we let irrational fears override real and pressing problems is an indicator that the problems aren't perceived as real and pressing enough.

Yet.

You are talking about nuclear, aren't you? I agree with you that nuclear is part of the solution. The pragmatic in me just insists that we cut drastically fossil fuel consumption after enough nuclear reactors are in operation.

All numbers say that it is renewables, with nuclear being a more or less carbon free stop gap solution. Wind and solar mainly, flanked by gas turbines, and hydro (pumped and otherwise).

Yes.

And that seems like a good idea.

Well, in parallel. There’s quite a bit we can do while we build, but we need to build.

For example, biking more for short journeys not just cuts emissions, it is also healthy, makes you happier, and reduces congestion.
