Why are you reacting like this? It is generally agreed upon that climate change is bad. Stopping the use of fossil fuels is the only way to stop it from getting worse. I really don't care how we do, I just want it done. It's too late to start with nuclear now, so it's a bit silly to discuss what we could've done sixty years ago. |

Sure, they are bad. But as of today the products derived from fossil fuels are irreplaceable. Like the list of products I listed earlier. Unless of course, entire society is willing to give up on these products to save the world. Sadly, that's not ever going to happen. People and society work towards short term benefits.
The challenge with saving the environment is people get stuck in these 'my way or the highway' solutions.
No space for any middle ground. No compromise.
Every possible solution gets an opposition. Because there is probably no perfect solution. Yet.
Nuclear was not the only solution. It 'could have' helped. So can solar, wind and whatever.
We can still start working on implementing solutions that improve things. But we get stuck on asking for the impossible, and if that doesn't get done, we don't consider any other solution.
Whenever work starts on something, you will get a news article having an issue with that and suggesting something altogether different. All noise. No results.
