In the decades that people have been screaming about nuclear plants "taking too long to build" stalling progress, we could have built many nuclear plants and significantly reduced emissions.
We've kicked the can down the road for far too long. We are well past the point of preventing the devastating impacts of climate change we were warned about 20+ years ago.
If this institute is so convinced wind and solar are the answer, I hope they also have vast amounts of lithium pre-mined or a novel approach to energy storage that isn't so damaging.
Talking about kicking the can down the road: what about the waste storage problem?
