Politics and graft.

Look at California, the state claims to have climate change risks, yet when they apply for bonds, this is not listed. Politicians will bend over backwards for easy political points especially if it is for a golden goose political moment, looking at Solyndra and Tesla’s buffalo plant. And if a donor gets a ton of money then win win win, still Solyndra.

The point is that you have a very sensitive issue that has politics in it that cause money to be wasted. If we are going to be honest about climate affectation then we need to be honest about solutions in the engineering profession: nuclear until fusion arrives, because renewables are not going to work from a storage perspective.

Then finally, what do we do about developing nations, if you are going to tell China “no coal plants.” Explain the enforcement procedures to solve this issue, are we willing to go to war to stop a risk versus the risk of nuclear Armageddon or societal collapse?
