Still an optimist, I hope the continued divide between left and right in this country open our eyes to those that speak reason and practicality, such as Mr. Shellenberger.

In terms of global North corporations running amok with little to no accountability in the global South, the mining consortiums compete well against the fossil fuel consortiums. This is not to say don't manufacture solar panels or batteries for vehicles or -- for that matter -- smart phones. Only we should not assume that green tech comes with a free moral whitewash.

Nuclear power done right is a strong option. Finland, as I am sure your readers are aware, is perhaps the European leader on safe nuclear power: https://tem.fi/en/nuclear-energy

If we could overcome our America is always #1 in everything arrogance, I think we could learn a great deal from and benefit from cooperation with Finland on nuclear power. Time to rejoin the 21st century.

"Forced march to electric vehicles" precisely. These morons can't think. And they can't plan. Electric vehicles will run out of resources to build them in three years. What do we do then? Idiots.

This is where I part ways with you. 40 years an anti nuke activist, I will never agree with Nuclear Power. I am shocked that a local renewable energy fuel such as BIOGAS is not exploited first. Centralized power facilities with grid upgrades are cost prohibitive. Distributed power solutions wherever we might find them, need some consideration.
